The 4th edition of the International Digital Photography Award - “Crossing Viewpoints” - is aimed at increasing public awareness to national and regional cultural legacy and encourages the appropriation of this rich heritage.
This year’s theme is: “Mediterranean cities as space of socialisation” and the competition is open to the general public. Deadline for the reception of photographs and accompanying material is 15th September 2011.
“The towns and cities in the Mediterranean are dynamic, living places that bring together different cultures, generations and types of people,” Euromed Heritage 4 declared in a statement.
“Their meeting spaces are many and varied: traditional city spaces like the rooftops of dwellings and the hammams; religious spaces, like mosques, churches or cemeteries; leisure spaces such as sports venues and gardens; commercial spaces like markets and souks; spaces of passage such as porches, spaces for family celebration like the courtyards of houses, and spaces for religious or cultural celebrations such as public squares, etc."
“To socialize is to celebrate life, and this act is set in a specific physical space, recreating the intangibility of the event,” the statement added.
Euromed said that some 30 photographs would be selected by a jury comprised of professional photographers and specialists in the field of cultural heritage. The winner will be invited to attend the final conference of the Euromed Heritage program.
