On behalf of the Region of Thessaly
We would like to inform you about the creation of the photo contest
TLOUPAS PATH The aim of the new institution Tloupas PATH of the Region of Thessaly is to establish a recognized cultural institution not only with a nationwide but also an international impact, which honors and preserves the legacy of one of the classical Greek photographers, exploring and expanding through modern approaches the conceptual framework of the “Relationship of Man with the Environment” in which he lives.
The new Tloupas PATH institution – from the initials of the title Tloupas Photography Award of
Thessaly’s Heritage (Tloupa Photography Award of the Thessaly Cultural
Heritage) – is implemented in parallel on different axes in a competitive manner,
educational, organizational and communication level, focusing on two annual
photography competitions with the corresponding prizes:
- The TLOUPAS PATH INTERNATIONAL AWARD, for recognized photographers in Greece and abroad, and
- The TLOUPAS PATH UNDER 30 AWARD, for emerging artists in Greece.
The aim of the awards is to highlight the work of important photographers and give them the opportunity to present it in Greece.
The main selection criteria are: artistic originality in conception and/or execution
execution, the relevance to the theme of each cycle, the narrative and semantic flow and the coherence of the photographs to each other so as to create a single and coherent series, the technical excellence, modernity, the photographic style, and most importantly, the emotional impact and reflection around the theme of each Thematic Cycle that the images and the entire photographic series communicate.
For 2025, the Thematic Cycle is titled Turning Point, inviting competition candidates to present works that capture the process or result of a definitive change.
Turning Point is the “Turning Point”, the pivotal moment of gradual or drastic and definitive change, the moment of transition from one state to another, the transformation, whether on a personal, socio-political or geographical level, the milestone after which the world can no longer return to its previous state.
