AIMS

 

The aim of the competition is to sensitize young people to the value of the architectural heritage of the territory of Castelluccio Inferiore and Superiore, and to make them primary actors in the communication of this value, internalizing it.

 

The objective is achieved by encouraging young people with prizes awarded according to the aesthetic judgment expressed by a variety of individuals, to represent different sensitivities, in different places in the world, and to bring out a shared aesthetic sense.

 

Through the competition, young people will have the opportunity to associate their photographic works with the promotion of the historical and cultural heritage present in the area, reflecting in particular on the valuable or recovered buildings that characterize this area and make it unique. The territory, therefore, is consulted, interrogated and made digital, facilitating its promotion and protection.

 

 

THE MODALITIES OF THE PHOTO CONTEST

 

The proposed competition sections are five, and offer the opportunity to illustrate, through a journey of images, the places of the territory of Castelluccio Superiore and Inferiore, in the enchanting Mercure Lao Valley.

 

The competition creates the conditions to communicate the images of the territory to the world. It offers the opportunity to capture the emotions that the territory offers, through its more or less known spaces, and giving particular importance to the artistic and cultural heritage, history and memory of which the territory is the holder.

 

The competition makes it possible to educate young people, to support teachers in their pedagogical task, to make the best use of national and international relations, to take a census of prestigious buildings and to be recovered, to better communicate the architectural heritage.

 

The awareness of what one is, of one's own history, is at the basis of the development strategy and contrast to the demographic decline of the Municipality of Castelluccio Inferiore, which the Municipality of Castelluccio Superiore is associated with, and which is aimed at the entire Mercure Valley.
