Together with the awards ceremony, the 39th Hungarian Press Photo Exhibition was officially opened on Thursday. After the category winners were made public in April, this was the time when the two grand prize winners were announced. Here are their winning sets of photos.
The
grand prize of the National Association of Hungarian Journalists (MÚOSZ) went to
Zoltán Balogh (of wire service MTI and public TV channel MTVA) for his series dubbed ‘The year of Covid-19 in Hungary.’ Balogh, whose photos are also regularly featured by Hungary Today, previously won the ‘Reportage’ category’s 1st prize too.
