The concept of Timișoara Incognito - Free from Stereotypes returns with a new challenge: A videography contest dedicated to all enthusiasts.

Timișoara! A city that inspires many states, emotions, moments, and experiences.

Trying to define the city, you discover that Timișoara is, in fact, far from any mould. The city expresses diversity, energy, courage, creativity, and initiative.

A mix of cultural influences, from music and art to gastronomy or architecture.

Or, as we like to say, unity through diversity.

Timișoara has been and remains an open-minded city, and one thing stands out: freedom - to move, express, and be as you are.

Capture in your recordings the freedom that Timișoara inspires and enrol now in the free videography call "Timișoara Incognito" in one or more of the 3 thematic sections:

• Urban Exploration- you're free to capture the streets' dynamism, emotion, and vibe.
• Cultural Enthusiasm - capture the effervescence of the cultural program
• Architectural Heritage - explore the local heritage from new perspectives
