Victor Migalchan together with Vladimir and Tatiana Mikhailovy Studio have launched the photo project, Open Ukraine for the World - #openUKRAINEfortheWorld
. The goal is to collect ideas and photographs which present Ukraine at its best and to show a never-before-seen Ukraine. The winning ideas and photographsof this contest will be presented in exhibitions in Los Angeles (USA), Kyiv, Chernivtsi, and other cities around the world. The contest is open until May 30, 2015.
In order to participate, contestants must submit their own works (ideas and photographs) which reveal the unexplored horizons of Ukraine, as a personal message to the FB page Open Ukraine to the World. Works will not be accepted if they contain elements of unethical profanity; violate human rights or honor; bear fragments of aggression or violence, racial, national, ethnic, or religious discrimination, or nudity.
The primary task of each participant is to show something new through something old and known--through the prism of optimism and development. Conditions of participation can be found on the project's official pages in Facebook or VK.
