"Widen Your World” / “The World is Larger, Explore” There are many “global” airlines throughout the world. Each of them flies to the same countries, in line with their own needs. They meet the same expectations; apply the same routes and rates, by going from point A to point B. “Same” is a standard for them… On the other hand, there also are those that are in pursuit of the unexplored: Those that are always seeking to find the new, who are open to learning and development… Those who are able to see the beauty in the unknown… With their eyes and horizons are always open. They make such things possible which are deemed to be impossible by others; transform everything into ideas and reality and create a totally new effect. They are excited, not afraid of exploring. They enjoy differences and want to get to know anything they do not know. They do not lose their enthusiasm even for a single moment... Just like Turkish Airlines… Turkish Airlines flies to the new world from the new center of the world, and unites the worlds every day. It brings different cultures, people, and thoughts together. Cordiality, empathy and hospitality deep from the heart lie behind its childish curiosity… It offers a pleasant travelling experience that houses as many differences as the places where it flies to. It flies to render the impossible possible and to reach new horizons. To grow and to be enchanted… Now, the Turkish Airlines invites everyone who is curious about the unknown in this adventure. It invites all of you, who are not satisfied by going to the same places and doing the same things, who photograph everything what they see, to its world packed with adventure and discovery. The photography fans will photograph their own worlds. Photographers will arouse interest in the unknown, at any place on earth and at any time, unite differences and emphasize that travelling is a significant step taken to change this world. The Turkish Airlines invites everyone who wants to change his world, expand his horizons and step into brand new worlds to its photography contest.
