Photographs capture moments, so that they may last forever. They allow us to relive these moments, and perhaps more importantly, share them with others. We want to see and experience the moments you’ve had at your job in tourism . All you have to do is send us your best photos (no more than 3 photos per person) and enter the We Guide photography contest.
Send the photos at photos@weguide.is, and include your full name in the mail and “Contest December 2020” as subject line.
Deadline for the contest is until January 6th 2021.
The best photographer will receive a price and the best 10 photos will be posted in the January issue of We Guide.
We are looking for photos that capture the essence of working in tourism in Iceland. Our panel of judges is made up of prestige photographers:
