Paris, France. April 30, 2007 - Px3, abbreviated for "Prix de la Photographie Paris," announced the jury's selection of winners on April 30th, 2007.

The recipient of the Best New Talent Award and the 2,000 Euro cash prize is Todd Krainin from California for his series titled, Nepal 2006: Civil War in Shangri-La. Krainin says, "I was both stunned and grateful in equal measure…. Px3 is the first organization to recognize the work I did in Asia.... After several months of running from tear gas and water cannons, it's rewarding to know that someone out there besides myself thinks that it was all worth it."
