‘Take the Windmill on Holiday!’ Photo Competition

1 August - 7 September 2025

We invite you to participate in the second edition of the TAKE THE WINDMILL ON HOLIDAY photo competition. Wonderful prizes funded by the sponsors of this year's FESTIVAL OF THE CHILDREN OF MOUNTAINS await you, including vouchers for two to TERMA BANIA in Białka Tatrzańska!

How to participate?

  1. Take the windmill on vacation

    When heading off on your summer holiday, whether to a nearby mountain, a meadow, an amusement park, or even on a trip abroad, take the FESTIVAL OF THE CHILDREN OF MOUNTAINS windmill with you.

    If you don’t have a festival windmill, you can download and print one of the two template versions (colour or black and white to decorate yourself), and then assemble it yourself.

  2. Take a photo

    Take a creative photo featuring the festival windmill. You could stage a scene where it’s the main character in a holiday adventure! For example, perhaps the windmill is ‘visiting’ a famous tourist spot, ‘meeting’ local animals, or taking part in a family picnic. You can also show how you play with the windmill on the beach or in the mountains, or how the windmill spins in the breeze surrounded by beautiful nature.

  3. Submit your entry

    Visit the Festival website and fill in the online form, attaching up to three photos.
