URBAN 2011 - International photography and art contest + Exhibition

[dotART]

hello, we are a no-profit-cultural-association based in Trieste, Italy but we like to operate internationally. Recently we brought an exhibition in Pécs, Hungary.

And now we are here to point out our main contest, dotart.it/urban2011/

that is not only about PHOTOGRAPHY but, also DIGITAL ART: at the end we will make an exhibition with the top ranked works (other than despicable money in the main eShops that offer gift certificates )

please, let me know where to post this msg, I don't want to be considered spam
