Both professional photographers and amateurs can take part in the project.

The theme of the contest is the favorite corners of one of the oldest Moscow streets: events, architecture, "places of power", people and emotions - all this can become the plot for the photo presented at the contest "# NeglinnaYa, I love you."

“The surroundings of Neglinnaya and Trubnaya Streets are one of the most interesting in Moscow. Living, working, walking, relaxing in your favorite area is a pleasant urban lifestyle. Everyone has their favorite places, angles, places for meetings and walks. Their own emotional geography of the place, - say the organizers of the contest. - What you love, how you love.

The curator of the project traditionally was a teacher at the A. Rodchenko School of Photography and Multimedia, photographer Igor Mukhin.

“The center of Moscow is changing dramatically, and in order to“ catch ”the moment of the birth of its modern look, we invited Muscovites and guests of the capital to take a walk along the new walking routes with a camera. In the Neglinnaya area, there are already three such summer routes with incredible energy that resolves only at dawn. This is the intersection of Neglinnaya Street with the Kuznetsky Most, Pushechnaya Street and the reconstructed Trubnaya Square with the recently opened gastronomic market, which has already been completely occupied by fashionable metropolitan youth. These are numerous cafes and restaurants, the authentic Irish White Hart Pub, Vogue Cafe, the confectionery of the Karavaevs and Muztorg brothers, the photo lab in Marchi - the main printing point for metropolitan photographers and a theater school with three educational scenes, residential buildings and ancient monasteries. All these are not just streets, they are places of power and inspiration that change, but remain beautiful and attractive, ”said Igor Mukhin.

The format of the photo can be any - reportage or art photography, street photo, accidentally cast eyes or thoughtful composition - the choice remains with the participants.
