This tradition always reminds us of the dedication our supporters have when it comes to capturing the mission of Greenpeace in one sole image. The creativity, the beauty and the skill never ceases to amaze.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>In all honesty, I was a little nervous about what the participation would look like this year as COVID persisted. There is not as much opportunity or freedom for folks to travel and take pictures as they had in years past. But as I was sitting in my Toronto studio apartment dwelling over this possibility, that\u2019s when this year\u2019s theme came to me. What better way to make the best of an ongoing global hardship than capture the diversity of \u2018Home\u2019. As always, our participants did not disappoint, with over 900 submissions entered this year and 6500 votes. You folks made finding a Top 5 very hard, but I hope you enjoy these photos as much as we did.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Now without further ado, I\u2019m happy to announce the winners of Greenpeace\u2019s
