Jelena Jankovic (Serbia) Image Name: KOLO Photographer Name: Jelena Jankovic Year: 2020 The national winner for Serbia went to another photo showing the traditional dress of the region. It's great to see awards being given to photos that capture the nationality of the area. "This is Maja. She is a dancer and a singer of Ensemble KOLO. Maja is dressed in one of the many traditional costumes that she wears while she performs on stage. The paint on her face is one of the colors associated with Serbian tradition. All the performers of Ensemble KOLO are people whose job is to preserve Serbian tradition through music, song, and dance. In fact, the main mission of Ensemble KOLO is to collect, adapt and perform Serbian folk dances and songs. With this diverse repertoire, Ensemble travels around the world and represents the rich culture of its country." ©Abbas Alkhamis/Sony World Photography Awards #Photography
