The United States Embassy in Warsaw and the Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C. have announced a photography contest titled "100 Photos for 100 Years." This initiative is part of the celebration marking a century of diplomatic relations between the United States and Poland.

Participants are encouraged to capture images that best represent U.S.-Polish relations. The photos should be posted on Twitter or Instagram with a brief description in either Polish or English, not exceeding 280 characters. The hashtags #100LatPLiUSA and #PLUS100Together must accompany each entry.

Prizes include an iPad Pro, iPad touch, Beats Pill speaker, among others. The top 20 photos will feature on both embassies' social media platforms.

The contest begins on January 30, 2019, and ends on February 15, 2019. A panel of Polish and American diplomats will judge the entries based on creativity. Winners will be announced on March 14.

Eligibility requires participants to be at least 16 years old and reside in either the United States or Poland. More details can be found in the Terms and Conditions PDF provided by the embassies.
