Press release, 15 September 2016
Radolfzell. You don’t need to go the most far-flung corners of the world to take impressive and moving photos of nature. That’s been proved once and for all by the entrants to this year’s Europe’s Natural Treasures photo competition. More than 300 photographers, amateurs and professionals, from 22 different countries answered the call from the EuroNatur nature foundation to capture the beauty of Europe’s nature in their fascinating images. On Saturday, the twelve best pictures will be awarded attractive prizes in ceremonial style at the Mauth information centre of the Bavarian Forest National Park.
“Our photographers have once again shown a keen feel for striking subjects and the right moment,” says EuroNatur’s head Gabriel Schwaderer. “The EuroNatur wall calendar, Europe‘s Natural Treasures 2017, in which we publish the highlights from our photo competition, presents the many different aspects of Europe’s nature in a most impressive fashion.” The twelve winning photographs can be seen together with 15 other outstanding pictures in the exhibition Fascinating Nature at the Mauth information centre, on until 11 December 2016.
The international photo competition Europe’s Natural Treasures was started in 1995 by EuroNatur, the magazine “natur” and the NaturVision Filmfestival. Since 2013 it has also received support from the Gelsenwasser water company.
