WHAT IS THE FIAT PICTURE AWARDS
Fiat Freestyle Team Picture Awards is a project developed by Fiat Freestyle Team in collaboration with Facciosnao and Sequence and supported by Red Bull, Quiksilver, Nitro and Vans. During stages and transfers will be made shooting sessions, and the best shots, signed by outstanding photographers - including Matt Georges - will be evaluated by a jury that will select the winning team of the Fiat Freestyle Team Picture Awards. Then the best photos will be the protagonists of a traveling exhibition that will visit several European cities.
