The competition is open to Belarusian nationals and foreigners who are invited to take photos while doing sports or with the background of the Minsk 2019 sport facilities and post them on their Twitter/Instagram/Facebook account using the hashtag #Minsk2019.

The pictures will be shortlisted in December by a professional jury, including the representatives of the International Belarus Radio, the Directorate of the Second European Games 2019 and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The best photos will be published on the Belarus Radio website and the updates of the contest results will be constantly announced during the radio programme of the 2^nd European Games. The winners will be awarded with “Belteleradiocompany” diplomas, a set of tickets for the Games’ events, as well as Belarus National team gadgets and clothing.
