The Shortlist of the Children Peace Image of the Year Award 2017
Freunde sind für einen da / Friends are there for each other
Alfred Fried Photography Award 2017 – Children Peace Image of the Year 2017
Lina Momsen – photo group LIRALE, Germany
Freunde sind für einen da / Friends are there for each other If somebody is only a shadow of his former self it usually is a bad sign. However, the Lina Momsen and her friends’ play with shadows is supposed to express something totally different. They wrote that they were looking for ‘peaceful forms’ for what connects them. For forms through which they can express that peace means for them not to have to scramble through life on one’s own, but to have friends. Hand in hand and in a heartfelt way. Carefree and happy, in harmony or a bit crazy. Lina Momsen from Hamburg and her friends who call themselves ‘LIRALE group’ were chosen out of the 1,900 contributions from 137 countries and 28 finalists to be awarded the Children Peace Image of the Year which is awarded for the first time this year in cooperation with the German Youth Photography Award as part of the Alfred Fried Photography Award. Peace-making friendships are the central theme of a large number of the photographs sent in by the boys and girls under the age of 14.
