The 27th Eddie Adams Workshop will be held in October 2014 and the only 100 students selected for the four-day intense workshop were announced last week.

The list of participants is not on the workshop's website, but as far as I know four out of the 100 students come from DMJX:

Kristine Kiilerich - Danish student, who graduated her BA in photojournalism in 2012.

Katie Currid - International exchange student from University of Missouri. Katie graduated our photo 1 back in the spring 2011.

Terje Abusdal - International student from Norway, who has graduated both our international photo 1 and 2 courses. Tejre graduated his Diploma Project this June 2014.

Demetrius Freeman - International exchange student from Western Kentucky University, USA. Demetrius graduated his Photo 2 Diploma Project in the spring 2013.

Mario Wezel - International exchange student from Fachhochschule Hannover, Germany. Mario has graduated both our international photo 1 and 2 cources. Mario finished his Diploma Project in the spring 2013 in the same class as Demetrius Freeman.

At the dimission ceremony today, Lasse Mejlvang received the Scanpix Prize for the best photojournalistic BA-project.

Lasse Mejlvang was not able to be at the award Ceremony, so he sent a video message instead. Picture by Mads Greve.

Lasse Mejlvang received the prize for his project "A place they call home" about the 16 year old refugee, Remzi Baftijari, who've been deported from Denmark to Kosovo.

"My body is in Kosovo. My mind is not", says Remzi in the project by Lasse Mejlvang. Picture by Lasse Mejlvang.

The project has just been exhibited at the Lumix Festival in Hannover.

Lasse Mejlvang graduated with the story in January 2014, but back then only two students were ready to graduate their BA exam. Therefore the Scanpix prize wasn't handed out in January.

At the end of each semester Scanpix celebrates the photojournalists by giving a prize to the best BA-project of the semester. It's the staff at Scanpix who select the Scanpix winner on the basis of nominations from the teachers.

This weekend the forth Lumix Festival was held in Hannover.

A lot of former, present and even comming DMJX students were present at the festival as exhibitors, guests and active in arranging the festival.

38 of the around 50 DMJX-stduents and teachers gathered for a group picture at the Expo Plaza in Hannover. Benedikt had bought the Danish flag, which nobody noitced was the opposite way around - and since we don't flip pictures it has to stay that way. Picture by Claudius Schulze and his lift.

Five DMJX projects were exhibited at the festival:

- Beautiful Child by Lærke Posselt.

- Bonnie by Marie Hald.

- A Place They Call Home by Lasse Bak Mejlvang.

- Detroit by Magnus Holm.

- One In Eight Hundred by Mario Wezel.

All five exhibiting DMJX-students were present at the festival and during the weekend they all did artist talks at their exhibitions.

DMJX was also represented in the mulitmedia category where Cristina Casotto and Lani Holmberg's story Vibeke and Knud was screened.

Even at the different book stands at the festival DMJX was represented:

Book projects by Antonia Zennaro and Kien Hoang Le were both at sale at the book stand of Emerge. Both Antonia and Kien started their stories as their final Diploma Projects while studying at DMJX.

Third term student Simon Skipper opened his exhibition "Malmøcitater" this Saturday.

Picture from the exhibition by Simon Skipper and Mathias Lind.

The exhibition is an interpretation of the town Malmø - made through manipulated cityscapes. It can be seen at Gallery T, Jægersgårdsgade 58 in Aarhus.

Simon Skipper has made the exhibition together with his friend, Mathias Lind - and Simon Skipper will start his internship at Berlingske/Scanpix after the summer break.

Our third term students have recently finished their web documentary workshop conducted by Poul Madsen and Henrik Kastenskov from Bombay Flying Club.

This semester we've introduced a new and more interesting media format, which can combine video, sound, text and of course still images. The format is available on all platforms.

The nine students have produced four individual stories within the topic fear.

Visit the new DMJX web documentaries and watch:

Kronikken by Trondur Dalsgaard and Jens Henrik Daugaard.

Når man skal lære at gå igen by Ida Munch og Simon Læssøe.

Hvor fortiden våger by Sophia Lydolph and Simon Skipper.

Vold og Tarteletter by Kirstine Toft, Lasse Kofoed and Laust Jordal.

Eight of the nine students will start their internship after the summer break.

Mathias Christensen is currently exhibiting as a part of the 7 X Personal Projects in Øksehallen, Copenhagen. The exhibition opened last Friday and is a part of the Copenhagen Fotofestival.

Mathias is exhibiting his Visual Project called "the story about fear of the wolves, isolation and the meeting with God"  . 

He made the project in the spring 2013 during his 8th semester at DMJX.

The 7 X Personal Projects exhibition has drawn a lot of attention in several media, for instance:

This morning, Mathias Christensen was interviewed at DR2 Morgen together with Miriam Dalsgaard, another of the seven exhibiting photographers. You can see the interview here - it's appoximently 2:12 hours into the programme.

Last Wednesday, Mathias was interviewed for TV2 Lorry and you can see an appetizer of the pictures from the exhibition at Poltiken's website.

International student Philipp Jeske presents his final photo story.

The best day of the semester at DMJX is when all the photo students gather for the final screening day.

On this day we watch all the projects made during the last workshops at the different semesters.

Today was no different - we spent more than six hours in the TV-auditorium, where we watched 35 inspiring and visually strong projects.

Now, most of our students will do their exams before it's time for the summer break.

Lasse Mejlvang's visual project done on the 8th semester is online at Politiken, where it has been the most read story the last two days.

Check it out here. There are lot of photos, or see the full project at Mejlvang's website here. And if you still haven't got enough Lasse will be in Aftenshowet at DR1 tonight.

Two former international DMJX students, Barbara Beltramello and Dario Bosio are among the founders of the new online magazine called About Photography.

About Photography is a free app dedicated to photography and can be downloaded from Itunes Store.

The magazine is available in both English and Italian.

The people behind the magazine have just launched the third edition of their in depth magazine and it contains three DMJX-projects:

- Morten Germund's BA project Bring Me Home, Ohio.

- Jasper Bastians Diploma project Across the River.

- Ilaria di Biagio's Visual Project The Thin Line.

On top of that, current international student Terje Abusdal is also represented in the recent magazine with the story The Bear Slayer.

- Filippo Menichetti's project What Remains.

- Maike Pullo's project Listening to the Sea.
