MARE Contest: Last days to take part in it
3rd edition: from 15 May to 15 September
The rules of the third edition have been created based on the three transversal values of the contest: the beauty and richness that we still have in our sea; the need to reconnect with it; and the urgency of promoting actions for the conservation and recovery of the marine and coastal environment. The 2022 call for entries opened on 15 May and until 15 September participants can submit up to 20 digital photographs related to the Balearic and Mediterranean Sea that capture its richness and beauty, as well as the human relationship with the sea, whether they are complaints or success stories. Each photograph will be accompanied by a message related to conservation.
