05 The Danish Siddiqui Award 2023 

Best feature photography on an international theme published in any medium
RECIPIENT: Nanna Heitmann
AFFILIATION: The New York Times
HONORED WORK: “Putin’s Forever War”
Nanna Heitmann’s stunning photographs tell the story of a society shrouded in nationalism and secrecy, showing unmarked graves in a snow-covered cemetery, a volleyball arena transformed into a refugee center, and the devotion displayed by young boys at a Communist Party youth event. Heitmann’s work captures the complexities of daily life under war, while delving into the historical legacy from which it originates.
