Πρόκληση #mycityviewchallenge

Athens International Airport, along with its wishes to all for health and strength in these times of endurance for everyone, this piece of news is of a different kind: it is an invitation, in fact, a Challenge to a "journey" we can all make together, even by staying home!

With a "Challenge with a View", Athens Airport is sending out an invitation to a "take-off" of the city ... from home! The stayhomes' favourite corners and neighbourhoods of the city of Athens, as we are patiently waiting for the time to stroll around them again!

Athens Airport initiated the #mycityiewchallenge #mycityviewathens at Saturday, March 5th!

Proud to be the gate of Athens, we want - more than ever - to cram Instagram with even more of our city, and assemble the digital collage of Athens. "Taxiing" for this "take-off of the city", is quite simple:

  • a photo taken today, with your view of the city from your window, balcony or terrace, and
  • a previously taken photo of your favourite city spot, the one that you are longing to visit right away, after we have left behind this hard moment in our lives, safe and sound, and ready for new experiences!

and then

  • using the challenge's hashtags, #mycityview και #mycityviewathens, and tagging @athairport, your view of the day and earlier loved photos of Athens and Attica, will be on board  @athairport for a journey that -although remotely- will bring us closer!
  • you can also use the official gif #myctiyview - available Instagram, by searching the challenge specifically.
The "journey" begins today. With the day's view from our window at the airport, and an older photo we picked from our favourite album of airport moments, Athens Airport is passing the challenge on to everyone.

Our goal is, starting from Athens, to get this "journey" travelling on, to the world's airports and big cities across the world, in order to assemble a digital collage of our world, and to create another kind of "connection network", as air connection is not possible for a while.
 
Thanking you in advance for spreading this challenge "home-to-home" through your media, we are looking forward to your photos as well! Athens Airport's first post of the challenge on Instagram @athairport, can be accessed here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hcvsHJlJK/?igshid=1hi4bvjm5lkwb
