Let us see Europe through your eyes!
Discover Europe 2020 is the seventeenth edition of the largest paneuropean photography competition for students. Once again, we inspire, discover and share what is most important to us - the concept of our common home, which is Europe. We have been here since 2004 to get to know your visions of the Old Continent, and the goal and assumptions of the competition remain the same from the beginning - establishing intercultural dialogue between Polish and foreign students and supporting aspiring young photographers.
The proof of the special value of our competition is the 2nd prize awarded in 2013 in the. Charlemagne for non-profit projects organized by the European Parliament.

Discover People -
