EARTH. The force that supports, nourishes, roots, and welcomes: soil, rocks, matter

123 photographers, one winner and a Special Mention from the Jury for the first week of the Block Notes Photo Contest.

The winning photo was by Susanna Rae Reddy (Vicenza), while the Special Mention was awarded to Manuel Berta (Gavardo).

The Block Notes Photo Contest is a four-week journey where photographers, through four themes, will explore nature through its fundamental forces: energy, transformation, and balance.

EARTH (Monday, April 27th to Sunday, May 3rd, 2026)
WATER (Monday, May 4th to Sunday, May 10th, 2026)
AIR (Monday, May 11th to Sunday, May 17th, 2026)
FIRE (Monday, May 18th to Sunday, May 24th, 2026)

Each week, the jury will evaluate individual photographs, while at the end of the four weeks, the sequence of four images will be evaluated. Therefore, attention must also be paid to the stylistic coherence and narrative coordination of the four photographs.

Participation is free, and photographs must be submitted by 11:59 PM on Sunday.
