The Balearic Islands' Port Authority has joined the #MyPortForTurku campaign, a photo competition organised by the European Commission to commemorate the European Maritime Day, which will be celebrated from the 18th to the 22nd of May. The host port of this year's European day is Turku's Port, one of the oldest ports in Finland.
The competition aims at making known the 3.000 European ports that connect the continent today by involving the society in this initiative. Citizens can participate in the contest by sending photos of their favourite European ports.
The APB has decided to join this campaign because it is a good way of making known the Balearic ports in Europe, while contributing to the rapprochement of the ports and of the institution to the citizens. The APB collaborates in this edition with the donation of promotional material of the ports of the islands, which will be part of the prizes awarded to the competition's winners.
All those interested can participate in this contest until the next Monday 25th of April, sharing a maximum of three photos through their Twitter, Instagram or Facebook accounts and sending the link of the publication to the following e-mail:
mare-communication@ec.europa.eu.The images may also be sent directly to the same e-mail.
Together with the photos, participants have to send the name of the port, the country and the tag #MyPortForTurku. For example: "Palma's Port, Spain, #MyPortForTurku". All the submitted photos will be published in an interactive map on the competition's website. Thus, the APB invites all the participants to locate their favourite port on the map.
The best 50 photos will be awarded. The winners may win prizes, as well as participate with the awarded photo in the exhibitions that will be held in Turku's Port and in other European ports.
