This photography contest seeks to raise awareness about the importance of our environment, its value and the need to take care of it. Photography is that art capable of showing an instant frozen in time, a reflection of a reality as it is. At least that is how we like to see it. Beyond the immense art that it is, we also understand nature photography as a tool that helps and transports us to know those places, those animals, and to feel a little more responsible for their care or survival. The versatility of this art and our affection for it perhaps explain why this photo contest chose nature photography as a tool to share the world.
