Non-profit Brnopolis is running an interesting photo contest for expats living in Brno:

We are opening a contest for the best photographs displaying the city of Brno seen through the eyes of our expats.

There is no strict limit in terms of genres. Take pictures of architecture, nature, people, events or anything else, make it arranged or documentary, just think of the relevance to Brno (each picture needs to be described by a short text specifying the place) and be creative. The photos will be judged by the jury consisting of three professional photographers: Rostislav Košťál, Roman Franc and Monika Tomášková.

The prizes are not known at this moment but as I’ve seen the soirées organised by Brnopolis I guess the awards will be delicious :)

The prizes will include delicious awarded wines, but we would definitely find an attractive alternative for those who prefer other kinds of tasting liquids.
