Themed competition

Water

Water, in all its forms, offers photographers an endless canvas of creative possibilities. From the raw, untamed power of crashing waves and rushing rapids to the mirror-like serenity of still mountain lakes at dawn, water embodies both drama and peace within a single frame. This month's theme invites you to explore the many moods and movements of our planet's most essential element. Capture the ethereal beauty of long-exposure waterfalls transforming into silky veils, the explosive energy of storm-driven seas, or the gentle ripples that disturb a quiet pond's reflection. Whether you're drawn to water's capacity for destruction or its ability to create moments of profound calm, let your lens tell the story of this ever-changing, life-giving force that shapes our world in countless ways.

The competition is open and runs until 21 December 2025.
