Nature Conservancy is an international organization dedicated to nature conservation, addressing climate issues and protecting the marine and island environment, and is currently present in 72 countries. Each year, Nature Conservancy organizes an annual photo contest to encourage awareness of the natural world around us.
This year, over 100,000 entries from 150 countries were submitted to the Nature Conservancy. There were five judging categories: Wildlife, People in Nature, Cities and Nature, Water, and Landscapes. The top prize in the People in Nature category went to a Vietnamese photographer, Le Van Vinh, for his photograph.Dance on the Sea.
The photo shows fishermen at Yen Island (Phu Yen province) casting their nets at sea, creating an image that resembles a magnificent evening gown. Perhaps that's why it's been named "Dance on the Sea".
The winning photograph, titled "Sea Lion," was taken by American photographer Tyler Schiffman in Monterey Bay, California.
The People's Choice award, voted on by readers, went to Sarira Santora's work, "Wanayo Falls." This waterfall is located in Wasior, West Papua, Indonesia.
Jacani Cordioli (Brazil), whose photograph captures the moment a storm arrives in Varadero (Cuba), won an honorable mention in the People and Nature category.
The Golden Bridge (USA), shrouded in mist, is the winning entry in the City and Nature category. The artist is an American named Jay Huang.
The second prize in the same category went to a photograph of a small city at night in Georgia, taken by Ukrainian photographer Yevhen Samuchenko.
A snow-covered mountainside with a lone skier is the winning photograph in the Landscape category. This image, taken in Slovenia by Austrian photographer Colin Ronald, was captured in Slovenia.
A flock of flamingos is flying over Lake Magadi, a salt lake in Kenya. This photograph, taken by Hao Jiang from the United States, won second prize in the Water category.
