WaterPIX photo competition winners announced
The WaterPIX photo competition asked Europeans to capture what they think about water, its uses and what it means for life in pixels. The aim of the contest is to bring renewed attention to the vital role water plays in our lives and as a key resource for all life on Earth. An international jury selected the winners in the competition’s three thematic categories (‘Water and us,’ ‘Water and nature’, and ‘Water and the economy’) as well as the Youth Prize for the best photo submitted by participants between 18-24 years of age. The Public Choice Award was determined in a public online vote that closed on 15 October. Here are the winners:
Water and us: 'Water and serenity' by Orhan Kartal, from Turkey. The photo was taken in Batman, Turkey.
