• "Europe in My Region" photo competition: and the winners are...
From the pool of 100 photos which received the most votes on Facebook, and 50 'wildcards', the jury - composed of three photography professionals - have selected the three winners of the "Europe in My Region" photo competition: Adela Nistora from Portugal, Ieva Viksne from Latvia and Kristina Griguole from Lithuania. Adela depicted the Marina in Ponta Delgada, the capital of the Azores: the new harbour construction significantly contributed to the economic revitalization of the island. Ieva photographed the new train in Riga that takes passengers from one coast to the other, crossing the railroad bridges. Kristina portrayed - in a very creative way - the Geological Survey project in Vilnius, aimed to help people to get and share information more easily and quickly. The three projects were all funded by the European Regional Development Fund. Each winner will receive 1 000 EUR to spend on digital camera equipment and a two-night trip to Brussels to participate in OpenDays - 12th European Week of Region and Cities, during which the Commissioner for Regional Policy Johannes Hahn will present the prizes to them. Overall the third edition of the Photo Completion was a great success with a record number of photos received, 1 002 from 27 Member States (869 in 2013), and with 14 268 cast (11 681 in 2013). The three winning photos can be seenhere.

• Panorama 50: Towards innovation
The Autumn edition of Panorama contains several special features celebrating the 50th edition of the magazine. Primary among these is an exclusive interview with Commissioner Johannes Hahn in which he reviews the changes in cohesion policy during his term in office. An in-depth article on the recently published 6th Cohesion Report explores how cohesion policy is helping pull Europe out of the economic crisis and encourage innovative and green growth. The latest update on the adoption of Partnership Agreements focusses on Greece: their preparations for the new investment period are explained by a representative from the Greek Ministry of Development and Competitiveness. Elsewhere we preview this year's Open Days event in Brussels; review progress on the EU's urban agenda; detail the objectives of the European Social Fund; and profile the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC). There is also a special 'Readers Contributions' section where various representatives share their thoughts on Panorama and how they would like to see it evolve. You will also find the usual selection of news items and featured projects from across the EU.
