Every year, Encore Tours runs the #MoreEncore Photo Contest — a photo and video competition held on social media for participants of our performance trips. Our judges not only look for the most captivating images, but also for the entries that best encapsulate the essence of Encore Tours: connecting people from different cultures and backgrounds through the universal language of music. This year, we were impressed at the level of photographic talent we saw from our contestants. Selecting winners was a very difficult task, and we loved all of the photos and videos that were shared with us. Ultimately, we felt that these three entries best captured what Encore Tours is all about. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everybody who participated!
