  2. Alba, please contact the organsers with your questions: www.euronatur.org/Photo-Competition.photo.0.html

  3. Alba,

    This is a photography competition. They are not looking for photographs of paintings… they are looking for photographs of actual places in Europe.

    If you are submitting a photograph they are requesting that each one be sent twice… once as a high quality image (larger in appearance and file size) and the same image again but smaller (the pixel dimensions that they requested 1200×800).

    It’s a silly request for two reasons. One they should be able to reduce the large picture on their own, and two, they should not be asking for high quality images until they have announced the winners.

    Best of luck!

  4. The best way to highlights the treasures of the country, especially those not very good heard.
