The European Environment Agency ZeroWaste PIX Photo Competition 2023 (6 Winners to be Selected)

The European Environment Agency ZeroWaste PIX Photo Competition 2023

Every year, the EEA organizes a photo competition to raise awareness on an environmental theme and invites Europeans to share their takes on it. This year’s photo competition “ZeroWaste PIX” is a call to reflect on the state of modern human civilization. Every photograph will raise awareness and inspire change, whether it is an image of factories spewing toxins, overflowing landfills, or a community garden bringing people together around a shared sense of purpose. The European Environment Agency (EEA) invites you to capture the unsustainable consumption and production patterns that threaten our well-being as well as the promising sustainable alternatives that are being explored.
