LET'S MEET ON MUSEUM SELFIE DAY!

As part of the “Museum Selfie Day” event launched on social media to increase interest in museums worldwide, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is this year holding a prize competition on social media to promote our country's museums internationally and to develop museum awareness among all our citizens, from seven to seventy.

Entries to the competition held in Turkey for Museum Selfie Day, which will be celebrated internationally on January 15, can be submitted from January 11 until midnight on January 15. Prizes will be awarded by the Ministry to the creators of selfies, selected by the Ministry, taken at museums in our country and shared via Instagram, Twitter and Facebook with the designated hashtags.

As part of the competition, which has been announced in Turkish, English, Russian and Arabic, the Turkish participant whose submitted selfie takes first place will be awarded a MüzeKart, while the international winner will be awarded a complimentary ticket to a State Opera and Ballet event on the date they are in Turkey.

Social media users wishing to take part in this event by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism must share their selfies taken at museums in Turkey with the hashtags #museumselfiedayturkey and #müzedeselfiegünü.
