British photographer wins CENTER Award 2012 for her latest story, The National Womb from Nagorno Karabakh

Anastasia Taylor-Lind, photographer from London, has won the Project Award 2012, organized by CENTER, a non-profit photographic organization in Santa Fe. Taylor-Lind was selected for "The National Womb: Baby Boom in Nagorno Karabakh."

The NKR Foreign Ministry reports that Taylor-Lind's work tells about the birth rate stimulation program in Nagorno Karabakh, where the authorities provide couples with cash benefits for every newborn child to improve the demographic situation in the country that was severely damaged during the war unleashed by Azerbaijan.

The photographer will receive US$10,000 prize and an opportunity to introduce her work in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The juries of the contest comprised representatives of Denmark, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Great Britain and USA.  The event organizers say that Taylor-Lind's story tells about Karabakh at the same time touching upon universal problems.
