After the success of the 1st edition, the contest has been reproposed. "Pollino secrets" - Photo contest II Edizione Preface
Due to the success of the Photo contest's first edition, named "Pollino secrets" and promoted in all the schools at all levels in the territory of the Pollino National Park, ArtePollino Association promoted its second edition, aiming at the continuation of the theme proposed during the 2009/2010 academic year, so that the experience could become a regular annual meeting for students and teachers from the schools of the Park, who are invited to continue a constructive dialogue with the Association to discover and observe the territory in its multiple aspects, to finally be told by the images.
Framework of the Contest and Theme "Pollino secrets" theme is developed through a narrative by images, that wouldn't be considered as a succession of coloured postcards, but as a different way to tell and popularize the Park's territory, to reveal its secrets.
Revealing the secrets of a place means to catch the less famous and evident aspects and so the more interesting ones. Students are invited to attentively observe the Park's territory and also explore its new artistic dimension, due to the presence of environmental works of art created by world-famous artists, as part of ArtePollino project, who contributed to open a new point of view on the territory. In this way, students could snap its creative appearance, the variety of colours, the magic of an uncontaminated nature, its traditions' strength, the cultural values, the signs of history and each particular aspect that make the Pollino exclusive. The aim of a such initiative is contributing to make the sense of belonging to a territory rooted and inviting schools to better know the surrounding cultural heritage.
Addressee The Photo Contest is addressed to the schools at all levels of the Pollino National Park.
Contest Aim Contest aim is the knowledge of the territory through the photography, which allows, maybe more than any other instrument, to put the feelings evoked by the places into images and to catch their details.
