Giorgio Peres<\/strong>, from Verona, is the Final Winner<\/strong> of the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Block Notes Photo Contest 2026<\/strong><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

The four-week competition this year invited participants to explore nature through its fundamental forces: energy, transformation, balance: EARTH, WATER, AIR, FIRE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four themes open to the freest and most creative interpretation: the subject could be understood in a physical, symbolic, emotional, sentimental, or even metaphorical sense.<\/p>\n

As usual, the Jury selected a winner for each week, rewarding the interpretation of each theme. However, only those who participated in all four weeks<\/strong> were eligible to compete for the Final Prize<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among the 74<\/strong> photographic stories in competition, Giorgio Peres<\/strong>‘s convinced the Jury of the Sirmione Award for the Photography<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0who named him Final Winner<\/strong> of the Block Notes Photo Contest 2026<\/strong> and, for this edition, the jurors decided to award a Special Mention to Ralph Milewski<\/strong> (Fladungen – Bavaria)<\/p>\n

The jury commented on Giorgio Peres’s photographic narrative as follows<\/strong>:
\n“The four natural elements are real and concrete forces, the vital spark of everything, and they also have a counterpart within us.<\/em><\/strong>
\nHuman companions\u2014and explored since antiquity\u2014they are “moved” by the author and concentrated into delicate messages.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Brushstrokes of more or less intense light shape the landscapes, while man\u2014always searching for the meaning of life\u2014steps aside in this case.<\/em><\/strong>
\nTime expands, the elements speak, sometimes intersecting with each other.<\/em><\/strong>
\nIt is this indefiniteness that determines the power of this work: everything is reduced to the ultimate synthesis, there are no boundaries for the time of the images, there is no disturbance. We miss you, nature so placidly powerful\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>”<\/p>\n
