The Nightless Night International Photography Workshop, held for the second time in Finnish Lapland, is looking for two photography and social media enthusiasts to win a trip to the event next summer. The three-day Photography Workshop will lead participants through three stages designed to make use of those extra hours and the endless daylight the Midnight Sun has to offer. The workshop takes place in the far North of Finnish Lapland, in Saariselkä and its surroundings on 30 June - 2 July 2017. “The registration to the event started in December, but now we are looking for two photography and social media enthusiasts with a desire to travel and outdoor life to win a trip to the Photography Workshop. We are really waiting for inspiring stories and applicants”, says coordinator Johanna Alatorvinen. Interested photographers have until 28th February to apply by filling in the application form on the Nightless Night website.
