Vote for your favourite photos while rediscovering Europe's nature

Published By Europa [English], Thu, Oct 15, 2020 10:10 AM


The EEA received more than 2800 photos from across the continent for this year’s competition — a new record for our annual photo competition, which focused on exploring and cherishing the wonders of nature around us. Nature and the environment — whether it be our gardens, parks, forests, local ponds or rivers — have been of great benefit to many across Europe these past lockdown months. REDISCOVER Nature invited Europeans to pause, look around and cherish nature.

An internal pre-selection process has now shortlisted the finalists. The photo that receives the highest number of votes will be the winner of the Public Choice Award. You may vote for as many photos as you like but you can only vote once.

The EEA will also put the finalist photos in front of an external jury of environmental communication experts who will select winners in the three competition categories — Close-ups of nature, Nature on my doorstep, Zoom out on nature — as well as the Youth Prize for the best picture sent by young photographers. The winners of all the awards will be announced mid-November.

See all the finalists and get more information on this year’s photo competition.
