"Environment&Me" EEA Photo Competition 2025
The European Environment Agency has announced the winners of its 2025 “Environment&Me” photo competition. Photographers from across Europe and neighboring partner countries were invited to submit images that show their personal connection to the environment.
An aerial photograph capturing the striking contrast between cracked, dry earth and turquoise waters at Burdur Lake in Türkiye wins the Public Choice Award for the annual photo competition organised by the EEA. The three thematic category prizes “BLUE – Water & Me,” “GREEN – Nature & Me,” and “ORANGE – Everyday Life & Me” as well as the Youth Prize went to photographs from Sweden and Spain.
The nearly 1,800 entries from 36 countries show a remarkable diversity of environmental stories and perspectives. These were narrowed down to 42 finalists and finally to five winners.
Congratulations!
