A SELECTION OF AWARD-WINning PHOTOS
The frames that won awards in the "Press Photos of the Year" competition, which has been organized by the Turkish Photojournalists Association for 39 years, make a note in Turkey's visual history. "Turkish Beauties" has been added to this competition organization as a separate competition since 2018 in order to contribute to the promotion of the country.
