    Press Release
    EU launches photo initiative "Cultures on my street"
    (28th March 2008) As part of the European Year of Intercultural
    Dialogue 2008, the European Commission has launched a photo
    competition, "Cultures on my street". The competition, which is open
    to EU residents in all 27 Member States aims to (challenge Europeans
    to) capture visions of intercultural dialogue and share it with the
    world. Photographs can be submitted through a special competition
    website with the chance to win one of the €15,000 worth of prizes. The
    website is www.street-cultures.eu <<http://www.street-cultures.eu/>&gt;
    and participants can post their entries until June 30th 2008. All
    European residents regardless of age or origin are invited to take
    part in the competition. There are no borders to the imagination and
    inspiration for photos could come from themes as diverse as education,
    religion, science, culture, migration, minority groups, young people
    or simply from everyday life.
    Four winners in all will be selected from the submissions. Three will
    be chosen by a jury of established artists and leading figures on
    intercultural issues, who will look for creativity and technical
    quality as well as the photographer's ability to portray the theme of
    intercultural dialogue. The fourth winner will be "the public's
    favourite", selected through online voting by visitors to the
    competition website.
    In September at a ceremony in Brussels, the winners will be presented
    with their prizes - trips to European capitals and professional
    cameras, so they can keep on capturing their views of intercultural
    dialogue. The winning and short-listed photos will also get publicity
    all around Europe, appearing in a travelling exhibition that will
    further serve to promote intercultural dialogue..
    Ján Figel', European Commissioner for Education, Training, Youth and
    Culture, commented on the launch of the competition: "Diversity in
    Europe is a fact and Europeans are interacting with more and more
    people from different cultural backgrounds. With this photo initiative
    the European Union encourages everyone living in Europe to show their
    view of dialogue and diversity. We want to see what intercultural
    dialogue means in Europe today and how people experience it in their
    lives."
