Description

As a field of production within the economy, crafts reflect the cultural values of a society through the diversity they offer and a common language of expression. Evolving around a master-apprentice relationship and passed down from generation to generation, crafts are built upon artisanship and hard work as well as on training. It is a field which contributes not only to the economy but also to the common culture that shapes a society. In this context, the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey’s International Photography Contest “Economy and Crafts” aims to support the photographic arts and photography artists, to strengthen national and international communication channels, to underscore the importance of crafts via the art of photography, and to raise and expand at the international level people’s awareness about universal diversity through a focus on crafts in different societies.

Organization of the Contest: “International Photography Contest of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey” is organized and executed by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey.

Contest Categories/Sections: The contest has a single section in the digital category: color or black-white photographs.
