The Fourth Balkan Photo Contest “We and Caves” finished. The main goal was to show the best pictures, which had been made in 2010 by speleologists and friends of the caves from the Balkan countries and the free participation - guests from all around the world. Speleo Club Prista - Ruse, Bulgaria was the organizer. The competition was under the patronage of the Balkan Speleological Union, the Bulgarian Federation of Speleology and was implemented with the kind support of „Fotosynthesis”and Photo- House “Ralitsa”.
This year the competition started with new format, new rules and more participants.
We received 497 photographs, which were divided into two sections:
1. The Men in the Caves;
2. The Beauty of the Caves
Each participant could submit up to 4 photos in one section and 4 on the other topic.
Five-member jury ( photographers, artists and speleologists) selected and evaluated the works of 98's artist and ranked them in 10 places in each section.
The most interesting photos will be displayed by the mobile exhibition, which will take part at the Balkan Speleo Camp - 2011 in Macedonia and in various Balkan countries.
