Mathias Svold’s portfolio consisted of four different stories, where all of them have been made at DMJX together with another DMJX student, Ulrik Hasemann. Among the stories is “The Wild Within”, which was exhibited at our anniversry exhibtion in June this year. And another story was “Always The Same And Never Alike”, which was Mathias Svold and Ulrik Hasemann’s final BA project from this spring.
In the past years DMJX have had great succes in the CPOY competition. This is also the case this year, where DMJX students have received several prizes in the competition – for instance first prize to Emil Hougaard in the Spot News category and first prize to Simon Læssøe in the Feature category.
All the DMJX winners can be seen on this website, where we have updated news from each day of the competition.
Next week the CPOY will continue with the video/multimedia categories.
