Czech Press Photo 2007 goes to a picture showing child custody battle

Czech photographer Dan Materna for the daily Mlada fronta Dnes was named on Wednesday the winner of the main prize at this year's Czech Press Photo. Mr Materna's photo, part of a series capturing an emotional child custody battle in the Czech Republic, was first published in January, showing a physical tug-of-war between a Czech mother and Portuguese father over their six-year-old child. Other photos awarded will be exhibited in Prague next month.
