Turkish Airlines — International photo competition

Skylife Magazine highlights the symbolic meaning of bridges with its theme “Bridges and People” to illustrate bridges built between people, different cultures and civilizations around the world.

Turkish Airlines, named Best Airline in 2011, 2012 and 2013, is organising an international photo competition entitled ‘Bridges and People’. This competition is organised by the in-flight magazine of Turkish Airlines, Skylife magazine. It invites all photography lovers to submit their photos telling the story of bridges built between people, cultures, and civilizations.

Bridges are not only large structures like the Lupu Bridge in Shanghai, but they are connecting points between two sides to facilitate communication between them.

A symbolic meaning 
Bridges have a great symbolic meaning for Turkish Airlines since it operates from Istanbul in Turkey, a city located between the two continents of Europe and Asia and connected by two bridges over the Bosphorus.

Flying to 239 cities in over 104 countries on five continents, Turkish Airlines has also become a bridge between civilizations.

With this competition Turkish Airlines wishes to pay tribute to all the bridges that facilitate human relationships and that are sometimes built in collaboration with people of different origins. One such example is the Bhumibol Bridge in Bangkok, a huge construction that connects the harbour to the industrial area, created by a team of Thai, Norwegian and English nationals.

Participation and prize 
Those wishing to participate in the competition can apply online via the Skylife Magazine website and upload their photos to the website. The competition is open for submissions until November 16th 2013.

The competition has three major prizes in the form of plane tickets. Prize winners will be able to use these tickets to travel to all destinations of Turkish Airlines.

– First prize: a plane ticket from Turkish Airlines worth $15.000
– Second prize: a plane ticket from Turkish Airlines worth $6.000
– Third prize: a plane ticket from Turkish Airlines worth $3.000

Moreover, 80 photos, chosen by a panel of judges, will be exhibited and the winners will be presented with a Turkish Airlines plane model.
