“A Europe of Diasporas” competition for the best photo to illustrate the life of the Armenian, Jewish, Roma and Assyrian diasporas of Europe.
"...The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.” - Ernst Haas.
"A Europe of Diasporas" International Photo Competition was launched by the project "A Europe for Diaspora" on Fabruary 1. The project as well as the competition are run jointly by the organizations AGBU Europe, Phiren Amenca and EUJS. The competition is open to all and submissions must be made directly on the website.
The aim of the competition is to help place Europe's diasporas on the map: diasporas are recognizable not by the borders they draw, but by the contributions they make to European society, including memorable landmarks and individuals that marked their epoch.
To participate
You must upload on the website a photo that shows a place, person or moment that makes you feel strong about your Armenian, Jewish, Roma or Assyrian identity. Multiple entries are encouraged.
Along with the photo, you should also:
- name the photo
- pin its location in Europe
- briefly tell the story behind.
