Anna Wahlgren who in the autumn 2009 studyed at the international photojournalism programme, Advanced Visual Story Telling, was last week awarded two prizes at the Swedish POY 2010. Anna Wahlgren won a second pirze in the portrait series category and she a third prize in the category Slideshows (Bildspel in Swedish). Both projects were made during her study at our school.
Anna’s award winning portrait series is called “From Rosengaard” and it’s portraying young second generation male imigrants from the neighborhood, Rosengaard in Malmö.
The slideshow story is called Them Cowboys – and is a story about Dewayne and Rick, two gay cowboys.
Anna Wahlgren was also awarded the title Rookie of the Year at the Swedish POY.
Congratulations, Anna!
