The theme of the 2021 edition of the #FRANCHICONTEST photo contest was our faithful hunting dog friend. Many have joined and participated, some with a photograph of their auxiliary and some as a voter to support the works in competition.
The #FRANCHICONTEST photo contest organized by Caccia Passione in collaboration with Franchi is confirmed as being of great interest. The second edition had almost 3500 participants with 635 works in competition.
This year the theme of the competition, always free and online, has seen as the protagonist the HUNTING DOG. Anyone, registering on the site contest.cacciapassione.com he could send from April 15 to June 15 2021, an amateur photo of his own purebred or non-purebred dog, expressing his dog-hunting experience.
The Jury's hard work in defining and proclaiming the winning works of the two first category awards, the works admitted to the final stages were all very beautiful and significant, which well represented the focus of the #FRANCHICONTEST.
