‘Thessbrunch’ Launches New #koulouriofthemonth Photo Contest

Thessbrunch, the award-winning culinary initiative of the Thessaloniki Hotels Association (THA), has launched a new online photo contest featuring the Greek sesame seed bread ring, also known as koulouri.

After a successful spring season of events, which saw the participation of a record number of Thessaloniki hotels, Thessbrunch is inviting its friends from around the world to embrace the competition by uploading photos of persons, buildings, dishes, landscapes or other favorite themes using the koulouri as a frame, with the hashtag #koulouriofthemonth also tagging @thessbrunch on social media.

According to an announcement, the best summer photo of koulouri will provide a winner with a two-nights’ accommodation in a five- or four-star hotel in Thessaloniki.

The contest’s deadline is on August 31 at 11:59 pm, and the winner will be announced through thessbrunch’s social media.

According to THA, the previous #koulouriofthemonth contests have been very successful, as social media users posted photos from various areas of Greece, as well as from the UK, France, The Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey.

“The news for the contest also reached social media users in the US, Canada and Australia,” the association said.

THA members started serving  “Thessbrunch” (meaning “want brunch”) in May 2017.

Since then the initiative has been warmly embraced by the public, and Thessaloniki’s hoteliers are participating every season with new dishes, unique wines and cocktails, as well as the landmark koulouri.
