EYID: Photo competition “Cultures on my Street”

As the European Union grows together, the European Commission challenges interested people to capture their vision of intercultural dialogue and share it with the world in the competition “Cultures on my street”. All European residents, regardless of age or origins, can participate. The idea behind the competition is that the borders within Europe are fading and people from an even greater mix of cultures and backgrounds are coming together, mingling their voices in an ever growing dialogue of their unique stories and experiences. Recognizing that cultural diversity and starting to consider it as a normality is one of the main goals of the project. Everyone has a story and everyone is invited to tell his or her stories in pictures. People who visit the official competition website have the chance to cast their vote for the photo they feel best captures the idea of intercultural dialogue. Additionally a jury made up of established artists, leaders on intercultural dialogue issues and representatives of the European Commission will also select three photographers, recognising the creativity and technical quality of the photos, as well as the photographers’ ability to portray the theme of intercultural dialogue. The jury will review all submissions and select the winning entries by the end of June. For more information please check www.street-cultures.eu
