ITS#PHOTO COMPETITION
The photo competition of International Talent Support is now in its fourth year and is becoming an important observatory to find talented, creative and highly prepared young photographers, able to shoot images that can easily find their place in the most important lifestyle and photography magazines.
The competition is organised in partnership with MINI, a brand that has as its trademarks design and uniqueness. MINI is very active in the promotion of the freshest and highest expressions of creativity. Contestants will be asked to produce a series of images on the theme "The Other".
10 to 15 finalists will be selected and will fly to Trieste, Italy in July for the finals. Their photos will be displayed in a dedicated exhibition in the location of ITS#SEVEN and viewed by all the guests of the event: international press, opinion leaders, professional photographers and many more. The artistic director and curator of ITS#PHOTO will be Denis Curti, director of the photo agency Contrasto.
The launch of the new edition of ITS in December coincides with the opening of enrolment for the photography competition. The deadline to enrol is the end of March. In April the Preselections take place and the finalists are selected.
The ITS#PHOTO finals are in July.
