In the Žilina self-governing region, a photo competition on the topic "Better world - cleaner air" was organized as part of the Populair LIFE IP project - Improving air quality. Students of secondary schools in the Žilina Region could participate in this competition, and their photos had to be taken in the territory of the Žilina Region.
The goal of the competition was to encourage the youth to perceive the atmosphere as a fragile part of nature, which is highly influenced by human activity and is not taken for granted. In this way, students were given the opportunity to connect their knowledge and experience with photography.
The competition ran from April 8, 2022 to May 9, 2022, when contestants could send their photos in digital form to the Žilina Autonomous Region. 23 authors took part in the competition and together they took and sent 50 photos. The evaluation of the competition took place on May 20, 2022, the photos were evaluated by the organizing committee consisting of employees of the Žilina self-governing region.
Three awards were presented, the first prize was the overall winner's prize, the second prize was the award for the three best photographs among all the participants involved, and the third prize was the special jury prize. The winners were awarded promotional items of the Žilina self-governing region, which were ceremonially handed over to them on the grounds of the school.
After the evaluation of the competition, the selected photos were displayed in the vestibule of the seat of the Žilina self-governing region, where the public could view them from May 30 to June 23, 2022. We congratulate the winners and wish them many more successes in photography.
