Photo competition: My City

Every year, the European Environment Agency (EEA) organises a photographic competition to engage with European citizens with different environmental issues. This year’s competition focuses on cities. About 75% of Europeans live in cities, making it no surprise that they have become key hubs for culture, education and health services as well as engines of Europe’s economy. However, cities depend heavily on the resources of other regions to meet their demand for energy, water, food and the disposal of waste. The “My City” competition invites people from across Europe to share what their urban environment means for them. Participants can choose to depict a European city of their choice to tell a positive or negative story through their photos. Participants can focus on one of the following three categories: 1) Sustainable lifestyle in a city; 2) Getting around in a city; or 3) Leisure time in a city. Competition winners will receive a cash prize. All entries may be promoted by the EEA and its partners across Europe. Entrants may submit their photos until 15 August.
