When choosing a subject, you can be inspired with the three categories and give free rein to your creativity. Choose from a variety of perspectives and moods, both with and without protagonists — the only condition is that the photo must have been taken in SalzburgerLand or must represent SalzburgerLand.
Get away from your desk, out of the lecture hall or office and into the adventure… Be part of it!
Here are the 3 categories. Get inspired!
#contrasts-> SalzburgerLand has a lot of contrasts and a huge density of experiences. According to the motto “Still or Sparkling”, we are looking for those contrasts which can be experienced in SalzburgerLand. With or without water – it is up to you.
#earlybird-> “The early bird catches the worm.” … or shoots the best photos. The early morning always delivers a very special mood, which you can catch in any way with your camera.
#outdoorfun-> outside you can romp around with games & sport. From cosy leisure activities on your own or with family & friends, and onto action-packed (extreme) sports. Show us how you stay fit this summer!
Each month a different Hashtag is key:
- #contrasts: 14th July to 14th August
- #earlybird: 15th August to 15th September
- #outdoorfun: 16th September to 17th October
Details on the start of the competition and the closing date are included in the SalzburgerLand Photo Contest Terms and Conditions.
Using any of these three themed Hashtags, combined with #salzburgerland and the SalzburgerLand Tag in the photo, you participate automatically in the contest with your photo. Note: The photo should only be allocated to one of the three categories!
The three best photos per category will be awarded from this resulting image pool. The pre-selection will be done by a jury, thereafter all Instagram users can vote for their personal favourites using the Like feature.
