For photography enjoyers a fotosushka exhibition "Beloved Pavlodar" was organized.  The exhibition welcomed its guests and participants in a rather creative way. Everyone from amateur to professional photographers could take part. Some 80 photos, and each one was signed with the author's name and their wish. The best pictures of our beloved city were displayed for the guests to see. In exchange for their own photos, the participants could take any other photos.
