Every year, the European Environment Agency organises a photo competition to raise awareness of an environmental theme and invites Europeans to share their takes on it. This year’s competition, Well with Nature, is a call for all of us to appreciate the healing, soothing and restorative effects of nature.
There are four categories: Air, Water, Land, Sound.
For this year’s competition, you are invited to spend time immersed in nature and capture the landscapes and scenes that represent a nurturing place for you. Nature can mean green spaces such as parks or forests as well as blue spaces like rivers or seas. It can also be gardens in urban areas or indoor plants and flowers on your windowsills. Your pictures can also portray how connecting with nature makes you feel and what changes you would like to see.
You may submit a maximum of 5 entries.
There is no entry fee.
