About #Phototelling
When a photo becomes a story
The #Phototelling Literary Contest is a new cultural initiative in Ghedi (Province of Brescia) that intertwines writing and photography. The contest invites participants to compose a story inspired by an image, on the theme "Tell me a photo, a special day", giving life to an original dialogue between word and image.
A contest open to all of Italy
The initiative, promoted by the Municipality of Ghedi and local cultural associations, has collected works from all over Italy, a sign of interest that goes far beyond municipal borders. The highlight is the award ceremony, hosted in the Municipal Council Hall:
- Literary contest on a photographic theme;
- Competing works from all over Italy;
- Award ceremony in the Municipal Council Hall;
- Promotion of writing, reading, and creativity.
