Bonn & Kochi, 1 September 2023 - The highly
anticipated Greenstorm Global Photography Festival opens Friday, 1 September
2023, and will run until 22 April 2024. Its unprecedented total prize pool
of 30,000 US dollars raises the Greenstorm Award to the pinnacle of nature

The top two awards for photos taken with a
mirrorless camera (DSLR) and with a mobile phone will receive cash prizes of

Under the theme of "Beautiful Landscapes”,
this year's festival celebrates the beauty of the land around us to foster
dialogue and inspire action in landscape restoration. Photographers can
submit their entries via the competition portal www.greenstorm.green from
1 – 30 September 2023.
Greenstorm Foundation and the G20 Global
Land Initiative Coordination Office of the United Nations Convention to
Combat Desertification (UNCCD) have joined forces to organise the 15th
Edition of the Greenstorm Global Photography Festival.
The photography festival is part of a series
of activities undertaken by the G20 Global Land Initiative to raise global
awareness about and interest in land restoration.
Dr Muralee Thummarukudy, Director of the
Global Land Initiative Coordination Office, emphasised the significance of
the theme, stating: "By focusing on the beauty of the landscapes around us,
the theme calls us to reflect on how people and nature are connected and the
pivotal role we must play going forward to safeguard, restore and preserve
our beautiful landscapes for benefit and that of future generations."
The ambition of the G20 Global Land
Initiative is to reduce land degradation by 50 per cent by 2040. The leaders
of the G20 countries established the Initiative in 2020 under Saudi Arabia’s
Presidency.
Dileep Narayanan, Managing Trustee of the
Greenstorm Foundation, expressed great pleasure in the partnership and said:
"We are honoured to partner with the G20 Global Land Initiative for this
edition, which recognises the power of visual storytelling to raise
environmental consciousness among youth effectively."
"This partnership signifies our commitment
to raising awareness about the importance of land and nature conservation.
We firmly believe that through the power of photography, we can foster a
deeper appreciation and inspire positive change for our natural world," he
added.
