THE FIRST ANNUAL PHOTO COMPETITION in

Forget the Postcards. We want YOUR vision. 👁️✨
Do you see Harar and Dire Dawa differently than the rest of the world?

The Ethio‑French Alliance and the Arthur Rimbaud Cultural Center are launching the first-ever "Moving Heritages" Photography Contest! 🇪🇹🇫🇷

We aren't looking for "tourist shots." We want the raw, the real, and the traditional meeting the modern.
* How do you see your city today?
* How do you reconnect with rituals and memories?
* Where does the past meet the future?

This is your chance to be part of the Bicentennial of Photography (2026–2027) and show the world the power of the Gen Z perspective.

Who can join? Amateurs, students, artists, and pros. If you have a camera and a story, you’re in.
