This competition will be the result of close collaboration between the IRHA and Photojournale, with their “Rainwater/Eau de pluie/Agua de Lluvia project”.
Through this competition we aim to make the public, too often insufficiently informed, aware of the various advantages that rainwater harvesting offers by providing sustainable access to water. It is in this context that the IRHA and Photojournale invite photographers, professional and amateur alike, to present their vision on the benefits that this celestial resource can have for both humans and nature.
The competition entitled “The Best Photographs on the Advantages of the use of rainwater, Raindrops Geneva Award 2011” is aimed at raising public awareness on the importance of “blue gold” in the modern world.
Photographic work can include the following themes:
- Water is Life, the essential element that supports human, animal and plant life
- Rain
- Sacred or ritualized use of water or the celebration of rain in spiritual ceremonies
- Thirst, scarcity and drought
- Water distribution, including the politics of water distribution, water as a commodity. Impossibility to provide pipe water in remote regions and the role of harvested rainwater for satisfying of the needs.
- Rainwater Harvesting, the best tool for adaptation to the climate changes (storms, floods, drought)
- Rainwater collection, simple technologies at work, water purification
