ISTANBUL PHOTO CONTEST
Welcome to the web page of Istanbul Photo Contest . “LES ARTS TURCS” marks its 15 years of cultural mission and for this reason we would like to celebrate by giving foreign photographers the opportunity to capture the importance of the historical peninsula & modern Istanbul. The photo competition is designed to encourage foreign photographers of all skill levels to submit
photos that visually express how the whole city has undertaken the mission of all activities during the candidacy of Istanbul: 2010 European Capital of Culture. The first draft and theme ideas of the contest have already been shared with our friends living abroad through e-mails and online announcements. The main target of this contest is; living Istanbul with its historical and touristical locations by focusing on the historical city walls including mosques, museums, bridges, towers, churches, synagogues, sufi lodge, cisterns, palaces, people, cats, parks, fountains, baths, grand bazaar, spice market, shopping centers, authentic Turkish cuisine, boutique hotels, handcrafts and shops, artists, carpet sellers , 24 hours living streets etc. In “LES ARTS TURCS”, we desire to see our country’s excellences through the eyes of foreigners by adding the historical peninsula to the Istanbul Photograph Collection. We invite all foreign friends to enter this contest. We believe that photography is a universal concept and a photo is "Worth a Thousand Words" and aim to prove that you will represent your feelings not by hundreds of word but in a single shot. This is a project with volunteer spirit from all over the world. http://www.istanbulphotocontest.com/
