#BAGmi: A Chance to See Your Picture Next to Great Works of Art

, by Benedetta Ciotto, translated by Richard Greenslade
A photo contest invites the entire Bocconi community to make a photographic comment on the binomial concept of Art/Milan. The best photos will be on display starting 12 May at BAG. Deadline for entries is 26 April

A camera, a passion for art, a dash of creativity and all of Milan to find inspiration. These are the characteristics of #BAGmi, the photo contest launched for the sixth edition of Bocconi Art Gallery, an initiative dedicated to contemporary art to be held on 12 May at Bocconi University. The photographers will provide their pictorial take (to be submitted by noon on 26 April) on the idea of Art-Milan, a wide-ranging topic that leaves room for creativity.

It includes everything from the town's most famous architectural masterpieces caught in original lights and angles to the details of individual works. Or the outside of a museum as the home of art, or the artist in person giving form to a new creation. Perhaps a musician who performs on the streets of Milan, or tourists admiring artworks in the city. And on it goes. The entire Bocconi community is invited to have fun with it: students, alumni, faculty and staff members. The shots that stand out for quality and creativity will be exhibited alongside great works of contemporary art during the evening of the Bocconi Art Gallery opening.

#BAGmi, launched in collaboration with Bocconi Students for Photography Art, is not only a photo contest, but it is also one of many initiatives that demonstrate the importance the University attaches to art and any expressive language, encouraging all members of the Bocconi community to play an active part.

The photos must be sent in high resolution (300 dpi). For registration and regulations: www.unibocconi.it/bagmi
