In June, the Norblin Factory Museum hosted a unique photo exhibition titled “Norblin Factory. Then / Now”, dedicated to showcasing the transformation of this historic site over the years. Although the exhibition has officially ended, it remains available to view online – and we are pleased to present the winners of the accompanying photo contest!

The “Norblin Factory. Then / Now” exhibition featured the work of Michał Jaszowski and Marcin Czechowicz, juxtaposing images of the Norblin Factory before its revitalization with photos of the vibrant, modern-day complex it has become. As a continuation of this project, Warsaw residents were invited to submit their own photographs to the “Norblin Factory – Then / Now” competition.

We received over 300 entries, many of which impressed us with their creative perspective on the transformation of Żelazna 51/53.

We are delighted to announce the winners:

🏆 1st Prize – Dmytro Malykhin
🥈 2nd Prize – Sandra Papiernik
🥉 3rd Prize – Konrad Grobel
