The photo contest “Run for Art” goes European. After a first successful event organized last year in Italy by the Giulio Onesti Foundation, a non-profit organization named out the funding father of the Italian Sport, the contest is now embracing the whole European continent with the support of the Italian and International Olympic Academies.

At the heart of the contest, the union between art and sport, expressed through photography, the artistic form that best interpreters physical activity and movement.

“Diversity” is the theme for Run for Art – Europe 2016 . This word recognizes, respects and values all the differences, promoting an inclusive culture in every field: 1. Ability Diversity , 2. Age Diversity, 3. Culture Diversity, 4. Ethnic Diversity and 5. Gender Diversity.

Photos inspired by one of the 5 proposed categories will be welcomed from young European citizen, amateurs as well as professional photographers, between 18 and 35, until next July 31, 23.59, at : www.runforart.com . Participation is completely free.
The goal of the competition is to create an exhibition of pictures focusing on the values of sport in the broadest sense: sports available to art and vice versa.

A jury composed of sport and art experts from the CONI, the Italian Olympic Academy as well as the European Olympic Committees will select 8 photos per category from the artefacts received. These will enter the final stage of the competition and will be displayed in September, at the European Parliament.

The 5 winners, one for each of the 5 categories, will be invited to attend the inaugural ceremony in Strasbourg.
