Argus is a character in ancient Greek mythology, a giant with many eyes. In the history of European culture, it has become a symbol of omniscience, it also symbolizes the information diversity of the world. The concept of the competition is to present by means of photography an “internal reportage” of the creative process of various types of art, to introduce portraits of creators, to find new perspectives for seeing well-known and new works of various types of art.
Yuri Bashmet, Vladimir Vyatkin, Francesco Zizola, Karl de Kaiser, Elena Kalnitskaya, Yuri Kozyrev, Viktoria Markova, Yuri Molodkovets, Valera and Natasha Cherkashin were members of the competition jury.
