We are very happy being together with our friends from all over the world in the year of the 175º anniversary of International photography. This meaningful year hosts two important events as well 32nd Black and White Biennial and FIAP Congress. The proud of handling these two most important photography events belongs to us on behalf of the Photographic Arts Federation of Turkey.

As we all know black and white is the source of photography art forever. Digital technology will never send down black and white. So the undeniable importance of black and white makes difficult to evaluate the photographs of participating FIAP member countries. Just because this members of the Black and White Biennial jury deserve an acknowledgment.

The most prestigious biennial results showed us the lustrous success and good job of our friends from the Bahrain Art Society Photography Club. So the greatest congratulation goes to Bahrain.

Of course, participation is as soulful as gaining a degree Therefore we not only congratulate the prize medalist and winner teams, but all participating countries for their support.

PAFT thank all those who have their efforts to bring the Biennial success in national and international levels.
