The Estonian capital city has declared an aero-photo contest titled The Trace of Russian Culture in Tallinn, BaltNews advises. The contest started in the course of the Russian Culture Festival 100ѢFEST.

According to the jury member, the head of the city council Mikhail Kylvart, Tallinn is a wonderful city with lots of interesting places. The politician is sure that everybody would be very interested to see city sights from an unexpected angle.

Russian culture, according to the contest organizers, has immense significance for the city and for the whole republic too. It is easy to trace it down, as it is seen in architectural monuments, local traditions and, of course, in the language. The aero-photo contest participants present their fresh perception on the Russian culture.

Photographer Ksenia Shabanva, who is also a jury member, has explained that a beautiful picture is not enough. “We encourage participants to share a small story,” she added.
The works are accepted until April 1. The shots should be done with a drone and accompanied by comments on what is depicted on them and how the picture is related to the Russian culture in Tallinn.
The winner will be selected in two stages. The prize is a drone DJI Mavic Air. Organizers promised to organize an exhibition demonstrating the best shots as well.
