We organized Rakas Turku (Beloved Turku) competition in the Fall 2019. The competition was a great success with over 400 amazing photos about both the historical and modern, natural and built and silent and active city life. We'll publish the first 9 weekly winners in this blog post.
Our photo competition was organized by Know Your Hoods and a local newspaper Turkulainen. In addition, many local firms donated lovely prizes for the weekly winners. Thank you for all the partners and participants of the competition.
The competition was held every week with a new theme from August 21st until the end of the year 2019. Let's be amazed by the photos of our weekly winners. The original post with comments about the winning photos is published only in Finnish.
