The festival, which was full of events and a busy schedule, offered participants the opportunity to explore art and photography in more depth. Famous photographers and industry experts shared their experiences and perspectives in the talks, while participants actively participated in the discussions with their questions. The trainings provided both amateur and professional photographers with new techniques and knowledge, and the opportunity to develop their talents in the field of photography. In addition, portfolio evaluations offered participants the chance to present their works to experts and receive feedback. The festival, which provided visitors with an aesthetic experience, was a great source of motivation for young artists. Guests who came to Bursa from abroad and different cities, left behind a month full of art and photography and made significant contributions to the city's cultural life.
The group exhibition titled 'Come with Your Photo' prepared in the Merinos Foyer Area on the last day of the festival also attracted great attention. Photography enthusiasts who had the opportunity to exhibit their own shots took a souvenir photo together at the end of the day.
