Since the first event was **awesome** let's do another one. Join me for a playful **photo challenge** where you’ll spend an hour exploring the neighborhood like you’re visiting it for the very first time.

We’ll wander past neon signs, street-art explosions, colorful corners, stairwells, murals, markets, and hidden details you normally walk right past. Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to:

### **Capture Neukölln with fresh eyes — find colors, small surprises, and moments that a tourist would notice.**

Anyone with a phone can join. Come solo or bring friends — we’ll make teams on the spot!

## 🕹 **How the Challenge Works**

**3:30 PM – Meet at U Hermannplatz**

We’ll greet everyone, form teams (2–3 people), and explain the rules.

**Start your walk — 1 hour of exploring + shooting**

Turn on **Tourist Mode** and rediscover the neighborhood. Your team can submit up to **15 photos** that best fit the theme. You can use one phone or combine photos from multiple team members.

**15 minutes of scoring**

Once time is up, we will gather at a cafe where teams will anonymously score photos from other teams based on creativity, theme fit, and overall vibe. Each team will score one photo from every other team.

**Leaderboard reveal + Prize!**

You’ll receive a link at the meetup to register your team, upload photos, and score other teams.
