We were so inspired when our friends at LumeJet came to us with the idea to run a Photo Quest about the Culture of Europe – and clearly you were, too! We’re only halfway through this Photo Quest and you’ve already submitted nearly 20,000 INCREDIBLE photos of the European Culture in your lives. Choosing a handful of our favorites so far has been hard enough – we have no idea how we’re going to choose the winners!

We’re up for the task, though, and FOUR extremely lucky photographers will be chosen to win an array of amazing prizes, including a FujiFim X-Pro2 for our grand prize winner, and twenty top-quality, high-resolution photo prints each for the photographers behind the “Most Creative Use of Colour & Light,” “Best Panorama,” and “Best Black & White Photo.”

While the chances of winning may seem slim, the odds are ever in your favor, because LumeJet has got a treat for each and every one of you! Simply register on their website and you’ll receive a special 50% off offer AND a free panoramic photo print! And if you happen to be a lucky 1000th registrant, you’ll get a $500 Design & Make Photobook! These prints are truly the best of the best, so what are you waiting for?


Without further ado, our favorite submissions so far from The Culture of Europe Photo Quest!
