The Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention is happy to launch the 10th edition of the photo contest! This anniversary edition will focus on the subject “Textures and Patterns” in the Alps. We may not always consciously perceive them, but “Textures and Patterns” are omnipresent in our daily lives in the Alps.
We can discover and recognise “Textures and Patterns” in:
- settlements and cities: a watercourse, towns resembling a chessboard or a spider’s web, …
- nature: longitudinal section of a tree trunk, the bottom of a mushroom cap, …
- food: a nice plate arrangement, the leaf veins of mangold, …
- humans: wrinkels, iris, textile fabric of a dress, …
- transport: rails, hiking trails, …
- sports: tracks of a skier, waves of a sailboat, …
- the air: clouds, sunrays, …
The submitted photos will be competing for the nominations for the 2020 Alpine Convention calendar! We welcome pictures that translate this year’s theme “Textures and patterns in the Alps” in an original way before the closing date of 30th August 2019.
All information on how to participate can be found in this form. Finally, we may kindly ask to take your pictures without disturbing the wildlife and compromising your own safety.
