Results Contest 'Umbrellas'

by Yvette Depaepe
Published the 13th of March 2024

 

'Umbrellas' ...
Why are they so photogenic. For sure, they enhance your street photographs. They make ordinary scenes much more interesting because of their shape, colour, juxtaposition and the ability to engage viewers imagination (what does that person's head looks like under there?) 
Admire the many beautiful submissions ...

 

The winners with the most votes are: 
1st place : Matthias Polakowski
2nd place : Hans Günther
3rd place : Adolfo Urrutia

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions and thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Umbrellas'

 


The currently running theme is 'Screens rule the world'.
They have become seamlessly integrated in our daily lives.  A world without screens, mobiles, tablets, computers has become unthinkable. But it also reduced greatly our social contacts. Show it in your photographs.

This contest will end on Sunday the 24th of March at midnight.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.

Good luck to all the participants.
