After the great success of the autumn and winter photo competition, the regional tourism organization Trenčín region (KOCR) decided to announce a spring continuation. From March 20, 2019 to April 22, 2019, the public participated by sending spring-themed photographs, and from April 24, 2019 to May 12, 2019, the public took the opportunity to participate in the competition, which selected the 3 best of the 15 advancing photos.

The public voted on a large scale

On Tuesday, April 23, an expert jury consisting of professional photographers selected 15 advancing photographs from a total of 145 submitted photographs by 54 photographers. Compared to previous photo competitions, the public had a shorter voting time, but the total number of 796 votes sent exceeded expectations and is one of the competitions with the highest number of votes announced by KOCR Trenčín region.

"We are pleased that the photo competition is not for the public, on the contrary. We are recording more and more voters, but also those who participate in the competition by sending a photo. We believe that our next, summer photo competition, which the public will learn more about soon, will have a similar success, " added Eva Frývaldská, Executive Director of KOCR Trenčín Region.

New owners of valuable prizes

The photo entitled "The Ruins of a Romanesque Church in Haluzice at the Spring Sunset", taken by Andrea Cagalová, received the most votes. Thanks to this, you can enjoy the new Dron, the DJI Ryze Tello model , which has a built-in HD camera with the ability to produce video in 720 / 30p resolution and photos with a resolution of 5MPx. The second winner is Tomáš Mikula , who for the photo "Bojnice Castle" wins a voucher for a dinner for 2 people in the Restaurant under the Castle in Trenčín . The three winners are closed by Tomáš Dvoran with the photo "Hôrka nad Váhom", for which he earned a free family ticket to Beckov Castle .

Three winners from a series of voters were subsequently selected through a generator. Anna Pavlačková, Alina Žákovicová and Lukáš Daňo can look forward to valuable prizes from the competition announcer. All winners will be contacted and notified of the win via email.

The competition photographs capture the coming spring, which broke out in the Trenčín region earlier than in previous years. All photos have a chance to contribute to the promotion of tourist attractions of the Trenčín region and can be used on the website of KOCR Trenčín region, in the bimonthly "Trenčín region", in printed promotional materials, publications or PR articles.
