On the 30th of August the winners of the photo competition at the orthodox photography site Orthophoto “The Colors of Orthodoxy. Bulgaria“ were announced at Book-atelier "Bird House" organized in partnership with the The Pokrov Foundation and the Publishing House of the Polish Orthodox Church.
Alexander Wasyluk, editor-in-chief and coordinator of OrthPhoto, presented the concept of the unique site as well as the competition initiative that has already taken place in other countries - Romania, Georgia, Serbia, Russia and Poland, and the result is one big and rich photo album.
