EVENTS COUNTRYWIDE

Via Sony Eyes presents a selection of the best 60 digital photos taken by amateur photographers. Organized by Sony Slovakia, the fourth year of the contest illustrates the increasing interest in digital photography. Over 2,500 participants sent around 5,800 photos to compete in the following categories: man, photo experiment, nature and press photo. Peter Lamata won the contest with his black-and-white photo Three Memories. "Even though it is black-and-white, the photo is not an escape from the digital era. Quite the contrary, using the 'colours' of black-and-white photography Lamata did justice to its essence," said photographer and jury member Milota Havránková. The exhibition takes place at the Go-in Customer Information Sony Centre at Mostová 2 (Carlton-Savoy building), Bratislava. Open workdays 10:00-18:00 and Saturdays 10:00-14:00 until December 11. Admission is free. For more information call 02/4342-2978.
