Winners of the 67th POYi Competition

En: Finally, after three weeks of judging, the winners list of the 67th annual POYi competition is done. Here's the winners gallery. For me, taking part live at the judging process was an awesome experience. The organizers made an excellent choice allowing everyone worldwide attend the process. Few photographers from Romania participated at this year contest but, unfortunately, no award this time. For those who don't know, Andrei Pungovschi and Petrut Calinescu are the only two romanians awarded at the POYi. If I'm mistaken, please correct me.

Ro: Dupa trei saptamani de jurizare lista castigatorilor celei de-a 67-a competitii anuale POYi este in sfarsit gata. Aici puteti vedea galeria premiantilor. Pentru mine participarea in direct la procesul de jurizare a fost o experienta extraordinara. Organizatorii au facut o alegere excelenta permitand oricui sa participe la proces. Cativa fotografi romani au participat la concursul de anul acesta dar, din pacate, nu au luat si premii. Pentru cei care nu stiu, Andrei Pungovschi si Petrut Calinescu sunt singurii romani premiati la POYi. Daca ma insel, va rog, corectati-ma.
