For Marriage Week, the Municipality of Ruse is looking for the most attractive family photo, taken at a favorite place in the city

Monday, 13 January 2025

The Municipality of Ruse is participating for another year in the International Marriage Week, which is traditionally celebrated in the period 7-14 February. The initiative aims to promote marriage and family and support couples on their path to building a successful marriage. This year, the Municipality is announcing a competition for the most attractive family photo, taken in a favorite place in Ruse.

Those wishing to participate in the initiative must send their photos, which were taken in various emblematic or interesting places in the city and capture the harmony, love and uniqueness of a married couple. The photos can tell a story, show emotions or present the couple in an unusual or inspiring light.

A family can participate with only one photo, which must be sent to the email pr@mayor-ruse.bg by February 5. It must be accompanied by the names of the family, a contact phone number, as well as brief information about the photo itself - where it was taken and why the specific place was chosen. The competition is open to both amateur and professional participants. Sending photos for participation in the competition will be considered an explicit consent for the photos to be published on the official channels of the Municipality of Ruse solely for the purposes of the competition. Prizes are provided for the winners, who will be selected by a special jury.

Traditionally, during the Marriage Week, the oldest couple living in the territory of the Municipality of Ruse will also be awarded.

In the period 7–14 February, wedding rituals will be performed in the building of the local administration at 6 Svoboda Square by Deputy Mayor Zlatomira Stefanova, and on 14 February /Friday/ a couple will be married by the Mayor of Ruse Pencho Milkov.

The Marriage Week in Bulgaria is celebrated with numerous initiatives organized by the various municipalities. According to a national survey, marriage continues to be a value for most Bulgarians. The campaign also has a preventive goal - on the one hand, to help couples remember what made them fall in love and commit to each other, and on the other - to understand what it takes to maintain love in their marriage.

More information about Marriage Week can be found on the website and on the initiative's Facebook page.
