“The award ceremony will take place on February 18 during an exhibition in the Mosaic Hall located in Al Nasr,” notes the creator of the event.

And notice her festive side. It should be noted that The municipality of Ariana has been established since 1908 and must establish itself as a city rich in history and make it particularly recognizable to the younger generations,” she adds.
To go back a bit to the history of the creation of this competition, the teacher specified that the event, which started in 2019, had a wide range of sessions that followed one another afterwards as well as a large number of entries just for submission.
The main objective of this event is to make Ariana known to young people in particular, but also to other cities, by organizing group and committed exhibitions (photos of the participants) in other cities.
This new session revolves around the following topic “When Art Meets Science” in order to bring the two topics together, because the arts completely intersect with the field of science, and at the same time celebrate the world of science. It should be noted that the competition was open to all professional and amateur photographers, middle and high school students, students and adults who had to compete with only three photos and send them directly via the following address “[email protected] »

It should also be noted that the competition consists of three categories in which candidates can participate, namely Youth with a Smartphone (schoolchildren and university students), Youth with a Camera (middle and high school students) and Adult with a Camera. .
