The European Environment Agency (EEA) has launched the ‘My City’ photo competition inviting citizens from EEA member countries and West Balkan cooperating countries to share what their urban environment means for them.
Participants, from 18 years old, can choose to depict a European city of their choice to tell a positive or negative story through their photos in one of the following three categories:
- Sustainable lifestyle in a city
- How does my lifestyle impact the environment? Can I change my shopping list and eating habits to help combat climate change? A shower or a bath? Solar panels or a vegetable garden on my roof?
- Getting around in a city
- Do I cycle or drive? What is the quickest and most pleasant way to get to work or school? Do I enjoy the journey on public transport?
- Leisure time in a city
- A stroll in the parks or a dive in the lake? Going to the theatre or for a run? What is the best way of experiencing my city? How do I spend my free time?
Prizes
- The winners will be awarded a cash prize of EUR 1000 in each category and EUR 500 for the Public Choice award and the Youth Prize.
- The Youth Prize will be awarded to the winning entry, selected among those submitted by persons aged between 18 and 24 (born between calendar years 1992-1998) to any of the competition categories.
- All the finalists will be put forward for the Public Choice Award and may also feature in future digital and print material from the EEA and its European partners.
