The story

Kolga Tbilisi Photo in Tbilisi

Kolga Tbilisi Photo has built a reputation as Georgia's principal documentary and photojournalism-focused photography event, centred on an awards competition recognising reportage and press photography from Georgia and the wider region. Distinct from the broader curatorial scope of the separately organised Tbilisi Photo Festival, Kolga's specific focus on documentary photography gives it a narrower, more journalistically weighted identity.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Kolga's specific focus on documentary and press photography, recognised through a dedicated awards competition, gives it a professional credential status within regional photojournalism that the broader, more genre-varied Tbilisi Photo Festival does not aim for

02

The mystery stays covered

Exhibitions accompanying the awards often address sensitive or difficult regional subject matter, conflict, social issues, historical trauma, giving the event a journalistically weighted tone distinct from purely aesthetic or conceptual photography exhibitions elsewhere in Georgia's cultural calendar
