A photo competition to save the climate? Why not? We all have a voice and we want our voice to be heard and our message to spread. A picture is worth a lot of words, grab your camera and tell us a story!
HOW to compete ?

WHAT do I shoot ?
- The photo competition aims to identify photos, images or creative ideas that advocate a transition from fossile energy such as coal energy, nuclear etc. to renewable energy resources. The photos should help to re-imagine energy production and illustrate how the exploitation of coal might have a bad impact on the things we care most about in our day-to-day life.
