Theme
The competition's theme is "fall". Your approach to this theme must be creative, aesthetically pleasing and personal.
As an example, you could picture :
- The palace
- The gardens
- The Versailles estate
- The Trianon estate
The goal of the contest is to present an aspect of Versailles, highlighted by the fall season.
To participate in the contest, you must :
- Follow the Palace's Instagram account : @chateauversailles
- Post your pictures using #VersaillesAutomne / #VersaillesFall
- Tag the Palace's account @chateauversailles on every picture
The selection criteria are as follows :
- match with the theme
- originality
- aesthetic value of the work
The picture's number of "likes" will have no impact on the winners' selection.
The 9 winners will be invited to a meeting of instagrammers, an "instameet." Guided by the social media team of the Palace, they will take a private tour of the Great Apartments and the Gallery of Great Battles.
The winners may be accompanied by a person of their choice.
