Sergi Hakkında

Dear photography friends, 

Welcome to our exhibition, which includes a section from today's photography on the 101st anniversary of our Republic.

First of all, happy 29 October Republic Day of Turkiye to all of us.

As the TFSF Board of Directors, we are very happy to have introduced the "Republic Exhibition", which we organized for the fifth time this year, as a prestige exhibition to our photography community. 

The only reward of this exhibition, which is open to everyone who is interested in photography and produces photographs, whether amateur or professional, is the honor of being selected among as many photographs as the age of our Republic every year. I wholeheartedly congratulate the 101 people whose photographs were selected this year.

I would like to remind you that this exhibition is not an exhibition of "Republic Day photographs", but is a cross-section of successful photographs produced in recent years, on the 101st anniversary of our Republic, which we clearly stated in our participation conditions, but which I find useful to repeat every year.

A total of 474 people, 154 women and 320 men, from our 58 provincial centers and citizens living abroad, participated in this year's exhibition with 931 photographs. We would like to thank the participants who participated with a maximum of two photos as per the rule. 

Among this participation, 101 photographs were selected by our valuable professors and artists, who will be members of the selection committee only once in our exhibition project, in accordance with our rules. 

On behalf of my management I would like to thank, Assoc. Prof. from Kocaeli University Faculty of Communication. Dr. Haluk Arda to OSKAY,  director Nebil ÖZGENTÜRK and writer and photographer Lütfi ÖZGÜNAYDIN once again.

In these exhibitions, as the Management of the Turkiye Federation of Photographic Art, we aimed to record the successful works in the art of photography in Turkiye, our Republic, which is 100 years old, and today's photography. 

Photographs of the exhibitions of the past years, which I had the honor of curating in my capacity as TFSF President, have been published, and the 100 years and this 101 years catalogs will be published and sent to the participants as soon as possible.  

We believe that this Prestige Exhibition will continue with increasing excitement and importance as our Republic turns 101 years old.

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the realization of this exhibition.

On behalf of the Management of the Turkiye Federation of Photographic Art, we once again express our gratitude to the founders of our Republic, including Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, whose value we understand better with the current events in our region and who provided us with a freedom like the "Republic" that we must embrace tightly, and whose strength of foresight we realize with admiration, and thank them for their spiritual presence. I bow with respect. 

Long live the Republic!
