About Sorrento 2025: The theme
After the success of the previous ones, the About Sorrento social photo contest is now in its 6th edition.
This year’s theme is “The Call of the Sirens – let yourself be seduced by the enchantment of the Sorrento Peninsula.”
A topic, then, that can open to so many creative ideas to tell the “seductions” of this land.
The myth of Ulysses is mixed with the places of our land so much so that it became famous in the world as the Land of the Sirens.
Creatures with irresistible song, bewitching but also particularly mysterious.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
“What would be in the eyes of Odysseus, for you, the call of the land of the Sirens?”
What, today, is the “song” of the Sirens? What, for you, are the seductions of the Sorrento Peninsula?
The goal of the 2025 contest – then – is to be able to enclose in a shot what can be attractive and irresistible to one’s eyes: not only views and sunsets, but also food, folklore and traditions, architecture, special glimpses that make the area authentic and seductive.
Let your imagination run wild and immortalize your idea of the “song” of the Sirens!
We are curious to know your concept of seduction and beauty of the Sorrento Peninsula.
As usual, 12 photographs will be selected to be part of the About Sorrento Calendar 2025, and the selected authors will receive free copies of the calendar.
As a reminder, the management of the contest is supported by the communication company Stylo Project, which supports and structures the About Sorrento project.
