One Picture is worth thousands of dollars

Turkish Airlines’ in-flight magazine Skylife is holding an international photo competition entitled “Bridges and People” and the lucky winner receives tickets up to US$15,000. The idea behind the contest is simple: bridges unite people and Turkish Airlines doesn’t just connect continents, but civilizations and cultures as well. So the airline, which has one of the largest international networks, invites you to build bridges towards your own destinations. The competition is open to all photographers, both amateur and professional, and photos have to visualize bridging the gap between people, cultures, and civilizations. Or, as the airline describes: Life is one long bridge, Connecting to the opposite shore, Reaching out a hand from one side to the other. It is the uncertainty of waiting...and the assurance of reaching your goal. It is reducing distances, resolving differences. Bridges create a pattern, a flower, a friendly word... Deadline is November 16, 2013. Prizes for the Turkish Airlines’ Skylife photo contest include: First Prize: Turkish Airlines’ flight ticket worth US$15,000 Second Prize: Turkish Airlines’ flight ticket worth US$6,000 Third Prize: Turkish Airlines’ flight ticket worth US$3,000 Winners will be able to use these tickets to travel to all destinations of Turkish Airlines.
