CONTEST

1.  Introductory Explanation:   In the modern world, with constant technology improvements, the artistic expression itself is constantly changing, and the modern means of communication enable practically anyone to try their photography and video making skills in the role of amateurs. Many, inspired by their current moods, spontaneously take photos and record videos, but just a few get involved in comprehensive preparations.   ISFAV (Istituto di Fotografia e Arti Visive di Padova), in cooperation with the Batana Centre of Visual Arts in Rovinj, sponsored by the City of Rovinj and the Rovinj-Rovigno Tourist Board, and supported by Maistra, is announcing the fourth edition of the contest entitled

ROVINJ PHOTOSTORY '18

to animate the broader audience and get it interested in a certain photography and video technology used to create not just regular shots, but an entire narrative unit.  

2. Goals:   The goal of the contest is to stimulate photographers and video makers, amateurs and beginners who use mobile means of communication (mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, etc.) to observe Rovinj and to create a picturesque story of the city’s spirit using their own styles. It can be city architecture or surrounding landscapes, characteristics or the way of life of some associations or groups of interest, a family or an individual living here, a vocation, places where young people hang out, an initiative or a specific event, an experience gained during a special vacation in Rovinj… The participants can decide themselves what story they want to tell and how they want to do it. Participation in the contest is simple and free.
