<p> <strong> Creative Photography: Looking the winner of the competition - listening - helping on the Wieden and in Margareten </strong> </p>

In the heart of Vienna, the parish recently successfully carried out the photo competition "Look - Listen - Help" at the happy message in order to draw attention to the diverse facets of need and the commitment in the districts of Wieden and Margareten. The initiative, which was founded in partnership with the district heads and Meinverzirge, encouraged the residents to submit impressive snapshots that should reflect on personal experiences and experiences on the subject.

With a total of 40 moving images that present a wide range of need and the associated aid actions, the jury has now chosen the winners. It is particularly noteworthy that the evaluation was not based on the image quality, but above all the message and the emotional impressions of the photos were in the foreground.

award ceremony and winning photos

The winning picture comes from Barbara Trobej, who captivates an emotional moment with her photo "Share": Hands pass a sleeping bag on, symbolically for the help that the 'Open House' team provides in the cold months. "We often cannot offer a warm bed, but we ensure that nobody freezes," explains Trobej, the important work that has been done for five years.

The second place was awarded twice. Emanuel Ullmann's picture "Fine red" shows a person dressed in red on a park bench, surrounded by personal belongings in a shopping cart. This evokes thoughtfulness about the life of many homeless people. Valerie Euler also secures a second place with her moving snapshot of a fence, on which someone "In the end I die alone anyway!" wrote. This graffiti art underlines the loneliness of many people in society and remains urgent without further explanation.

Fourth place goes to Jutta Niederstätter, who sensitively captures the atmosphere in the "open living room". Her picture shows two people who playfully deal with each other and interact with a wink and childlike curiosity. "In our hectic everyday life we often lose our eyes for each other," says Niederstätter.

popularity with the municipality

The voting of the parish produced other favorites. Agnes Pfeffer convinced with her picture "just be with each other," that visually captures the calming feeling of closeness and support. Willi Schlager achieved a thoughtful snapshot of a beggar in front of a jewelry business who illustrates the gap between poverty and wealth.

The prices for the winners are diverse. In addition to the presentation of her works in a photo gallery on meinzirk.at, each winner received a voucher for the “The Golden Celebret” shop and a gastro voucher for the “Zum Dear Augustin” restaurant. In addition, some winners can look forward to personal tours of the Karlskirche and tickets for a Vivaldi concert.

This photo competitive campaign not only illustrates the challenges and offers of help in Wieden and Margareten, but also promotes awareness of the need for empathy and support within the community. Further information and the complete collection of submissions can be found on meinzirk.at.
