More than seventy pictures competed in the Interreg Baltic Sea Region photo competition. Which projects were the best in illustrating transnational cooperation, grasping the essence of a project and its result, and presenting the 30th anniversary of Interreg? Congratulations to the teams of BalticRIM, RESQU2, Baltic Game Industry, EcoDesign Circle and GoSmart BSR!
Best pictures are #MadeWithInterreg
Great pictures inspire, great pictures encourage reflections and make others relate to the topic more easily. Great pictures help reflect on the achievements and illustrate even most complex matters. This year, the projects submit their great pictures in four categories: “Cooperation”, “Your project in one picture”, “Your project result in use” and “30 (years of Interreg)”.
Out of 73 submitted pictures, the jury of the Managing Authority/Joint Secretariat (MA/JS) selected one best picture in each category. In parallel, all pictures submitted in the photo competition were shared with the Programme followers on Facebook for public voting.

This alcohol avoidance therapy application has been developed as part of the EU-Interreg project Baltic Game Industry by the game design unit of HTW Berlin in close cooperation with three partner clinics in Germany, Denmark and Poland. Expanding potential market opportunities beyond the traditional games sector and upgrading the portfolios of game companies is one of the key objectives of the BGI project.

Project: GoSmart BSR
The picture by GoSmart BSR is the highest rated picture (more than 100 clicks!) in the public vote on Facebook. It’s the second time that GoSmart BSR has managed to mobilise its community so well to win the public vote: congratulations!
What’s in the picture? Seeing people and their emotions has such an important role of every initiative, collaboration and project. Emotions which covered the room of Vidzeme Innovation conference in Latvia, organized and visited by GoSmart BSR project partners, clearly shows how people can and should react when a great partners, ideas and stories appear on the horizon. 30 years of Interreg is a success, and we know how to celebrate success!
