On February 16 (local time), the 79th POYI Pictures of the Year International awards announced the winners of everyday life (single), general news (single) and live news (single). Interestingly, in the single winning photo in the daily life category, a photo taken by a Danish musician holding a concert with a cow won an award, which can be called the Danish version of "playing the harp on the cow".
Finalist: Cow Concert
Carsten Sneegger Photography
A group of musicians performs a cow concert on April 23, 2021. The famous cellist Jacob Shaw is the founder of the Scandinavian Cello School in Stevens, southeastern Denmark. At school, talent from all over the world comes together to practice and develop in an informal environment. "Cow Concerts" are not only for cows, musicians admit that when they perform in such a rather ridiculous environment, they tend to become less nervous and more relaxed. They taught themselves, and if they could perform at the highest level in the stables, they could also perform best on stage at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England.
The Global Picture of the Year Award is one of the most influential photography awards in the world, as well as one of the most famous and oldest awards in the field of photojournalism, longer than the history of Holsay. The award was founded in 1944 and has a history of 79 years, the Global Picture of the Year Award is considered to be the vane of The Holsai, and the winning works of the past are highly overlapping with the Holsay.
