In the age of digital technology, subject to knowledge of a foreign language, there are no boundaries for development! This was confirmed by the story of Anastasia Zhemalutdinova, a student of the specialty "Foreign Language" of InEU. The girl dreams of becoming a professional photographer. Last spring, Nastya stumbled on the Internet at the site of the 35AWARDS international award. Excellent knowledge of the English language and a desire to try their hand have become decisive factors for participating in a prestigious competition.

The competitive project "35AWARDS" was founded by the creators of the professional photo community 35photo.ru in 2015. Particular attention in the selection of the best works is given to the voting system in 3 stages, at each of which the requirements are tightened. Members of the jury from different countries decide the fate of the participants. Experts select the 100 best photos of the year in various categories. The last competition was attended by 114 thousand people from 172 countries!

According to Anastasia, this project is a great opportunity to reveal your professional potential in photography and an excellent practice of language skills. This is a chance for aspiring photographers to express themselves and show the whole world truly worthy work.

In May 2019, Nastya took 4th place in the "4TH INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD". In December 2019, our student entered the top 32 of the best participants in the contest "Black And White Woman Portrait" in Moscow. From May to August 2019 she received the first publications in the electronic edition of Vogue.it. As the contestant herself shares, success requires a lot of patience, the desire for victory and an original view of the world that surrounds us.

Anastasia is now a participant in the fifth international contest 35 AWARDS “100 Great Photographers” - a nomination for the semi-finals, which will be held in March 2020. In the meantime, her story continues ...

Voting for the best photos will begin on March 1 at 21:00 Moscow time. Winners' works will be published in the collection “100 Great Photographers”. We wish Anastasia success, and we will certainly follow her success!
