"Europe in my Region" Photo competition
Would you like to win up to €1,000 worth of digital camera equipment, plus a trip for two to Brussels? Take part in the ‘Europe in my Region’ photo competition this summer!
The competition will be hosted on the European Commission’s Facebook page. Participants will be invited to enter photos in two categories:
- ‘My Project’, open to organisations that have benefited from EU regional funding (ie from the European Regional Development Fund or the Cohesion Fund)
- ‘Eyewitness’, open to anyone living in the EU who spots a project either in their region or when visiting another region.
To take part, all participants need to do is take a photo of a project which includes evidence of EU regional funding (e.g. featuring a billboard, signpost, plaque, etc., with the EU flag and funding information in the pictures). Two winners will then be selected in each category; one by popular vote and one by jury from a selection of the most popular remaining entries. Photos will be judged on their aesthetic quality, creativity and relevance to EU regional policy.
Help us to show some of the great projects around Europe. Follow @EU_Regional on Twitter and the EC Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/EuropeanCommission) for more news soon. And finally, whether you’re at home or abroad, don’t forget to keep your eye out for projects and your camera at the ready!

Welcome to Pskov – the ancient russian town!
Hi all community of Photo Youth greetings from Pskov, we live in a very beautiful city and we invite you to come and visit. We have our own blog of Photo Youth where we will publish our posts with photos and text of the project working with children of our schools. In August we will proud to host near Pskov the Photo Camp with children and teachers and actually we are working on it.
Vyborg the last city of the journey
Students of Photo Youth in Vyborg
Today is the last visit for consultations in Russia and the last place where Photo Youth is living. More than thousand kilometers on the road with a lot of friends that we made starting in Riga Monday 7th May. For Ilmars and me it was so fast, and so short, willing to have more time to be with the children and the teachers working with the photo cameras and macbook. Vyborg is a quite place where Olga Kareva lead the project Photo Youth. The Centre of complex social services citizens “Vyborg” is a place where children get many education in different levels and ways and our visit was plenty of friendship and lovely people working hard for people with special needs. Personally I would like to stay more time and Vyborg have this air of mystery that any journalist and photographer wish to discover. Lets see what happen after august because they deserve a more long visit.
