Konya Metropolitan Municipality is organizing the 3rd “Heritage from Masters: Disappearing Traditional Professions” themed award-winning photography competition with the aim of preserving traditional professions that are on the verge of extinction and transferring them to future generations.
The Konya Metropolitan Municipality is organizing the 3rd edition of the "Heritage from Masters: Disappearing Traditional Professions" themed photography competition, with the goal of preserving traditional professions that are at risk of disappearing and passing them on to future generations.
Konya Metropolitan Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay reminded that various factors, such as rapidly changing technological developments, industrialization, and the increase in human population in recent years, have led to the transformation of traditional professions, the emergence of new occupations, and the disappearance of some trades.
Altay stated, "The competition covers occupational groups such as crafts involving wood, glass, leather, animal and plant waste, silk-textile, metal, earth-stone, and mixed raw materials. We need everyone's contribution to pass on the knowledge and skills of these masters to future generations. I invite all photography enthusiasts to participate in our competition."
