The competition ran on social media channels www.visit-tirana.com, Instagram @visit_tirana, and Facebook VisitTirana for the period December 2017- February 2018. Fans and followers submitted a hundred-four photos using the hashtag #TiranaWinter2018.

The winter this year was so beautiful in Tirana. It was just like a puzzle with different colors featuring the decorations of the New Year and Christmas, grey and rainy days, snow in the city and surrounding mountains, and St Valentine’s atmosphere. All these puzzles created the full panorama of #TiranaWinter2018.
