View the amazing winners of the Lights photo competition

The second part of the Colors and lights photo competition concentrated on fascinating lights in the darkness of the autumn. We thank all the photographers for participating in the competition! The winners have been chosen!

Our main goal in Know Your Hoods - search engine for neighborhoods is to reveal the unique neighborhoods and encourage people to get to know their own surroundings better. We received amazing photos from Turku, Kaarina, Raisio, Naantali and other cities in the region that embrace the sparkles of light in the darkening days.

More than 100 amazing photos attended the photo competition. Our jury chose 12 finalists of which readers could vote for their favorite. Altogether these pictures received 237 votes and every single one of the pictures had its own fans. :)

We also raffled a prize among voters. Voter called Seija Abraham got lucky this time and will be rewarded with a 20 euro gift card to Fiilis Cafe.
