International specialist jury led by PhDr. Marián Pauera ESFIAP, selected 55 photographs by authors from the Czech Republic, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Canada, Austria, and Slovakia for the presentation of the exhibition. The organizers of the exhibition were happy that most of the photographs brought a message from people’s lives. A pleasant surprise were photos from Slovakia from foreign journalists.
The mayor of Piešťany, Peter Jančovič, welcomed those present and highly rated the idea of mediating the lives of local people in the form of photographs by traveling journalists. Agáta Mikulová, the executive director of the exhibition’s main partner KOCR Region of Experiences, praised FIJEET SLOVAKIA’s efforts to “bring” foreign journalists to the Trnava Region and the exhibition to Piešťany. The president of FIJET SLOVAKIA Ľudmila Novacká emphasized that every year is held in Piešťany. The spa town is the “home port” of Travel and Emotions.
The artistic message of quality content expressed by the author in his photograph was emphasized by the chairman of the jury and the curator of the exhibition, Marián Pauer.
