Photographic competition final information
The theme for the 2025 Competition was inspired by the work of Camille Pissarro (1830 – 1903), who used the seasons to symbolize the passage of time and the ebb and flow of life. Pissarro’s paintings often depicted the following:
- Spring: A time of rebirth and renewal
- Summer: A time of activity and vibrancy
- Autumn: A time of maturity and harvest
- Winter: A time of rest and contemplation
Pissarro paid close attention to detail, using perspective and composition to convey the mood of each season. His love of nature was a source of inspiration for his work, and he believed in the peaceful coexistence of man and nature. Photographers should feel free to interpret the theme in a variety of ways.
