The Europe in My Region Photo Competition aims to make citizens notice the excellent work that projects across Europe are doing with the help of EU funding, and explore what these projects mean to local communities.

To take part, you have to do is upload photos of a project clearly showing the billboard, plaque or poster, etc. with the EU flag somewhere in the picture, so we know that it has received EU funding. 

Have a look at the example photos below to see what the billboards and plaques look like.

Interesting activity to students who love Photograpy or study Arts Pohtography, don't you think?

Students love participate in contests. They get excited to show off their skills no matter the contest. But a contest about photograpy?  

It will be gorgeous motivate students in Photography to the value of European cooperation. And seeing them to cross their city or region go to get a picture.

Participating in this photo contest uploading a photo that young people can shot in a big city, a small town, whatever.

Genre of photography that can be understood as the product of an artistic interaction between a photographer and an urban public space with EU fundings.

Street or urban photographer’s images are not intended to illustrate a new story. Instead, their primary goal is expressive and communicates a subjective impression of the Eu fundings in their region. 

The contest could be an interesting activity to those students who are enjoying summer holidays or to those students who preparing their exams. During a breack and going, a good relaxing activity.
