On the occasion of Europe Day 2019 (9th of May), the Europe Direct Information Centre hosted at ELIAMEP (EDIC ELIAMEP) is organizing a photography contest titled: “Our Europe: Common Roots, Common Future”.
The contest is open to all photography enthusiasts; all they need is a camera and an abundance of imagination!
Greek citizens who live in other EU countries, as well as EU citizens who live in Greece, can apply. Participants should depict elements (locations, objects, events etc.) in their host country that remind them of their home.
