CITY STREETS PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION

As part of our Metropolis season, and in collaboration with the Hellenic Institute of Migration Policy and the photographer Nikos Economopoulos, we invite you on a journey into the streets of Athens, where Europe meets Africa, Asia and the Balkans.

The aim is to create a photographic record of the new, multicultural face of the Greek capital and of the small histories of people in the city, who speak different languages and have diverse origins and cultures, but who all share a common reality.

If you would like to participate, please submit your application by Friday 16 June 2006.

The 10 young photographers (18-30 years old) – amateurs or professionals – who are selected will have the opportunity to participate in a series of photography workshops led by photographer Nikos Economopoulos, and to capture the street-life of multicultural Athens.

Selected material will be published and exhibited in Greece and abroad in spring 2007.
