THE WINNERS OF THE XV EDITION OF THE CONTEST HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED
The success of the initiative is confirmed by its numbers:almost 3,500 images have taken part in the 2021 selection
The 15th edition of the international contest "Fotografare il Parco", organised by the National Parks of Stelvio, Gran Paradiso, Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, and de la Vanoise, with the patronage of Alparc, Federparchi, and the participation of the media partner La Rivista della Natura, has come to an end.
The great participation of photography enthusiasts and the high technical, artistic, and naturalistic value of the images presented, confirmed the important role that "Fotografare il Parco" has taken on in the panorama of photography contests.
The three absolute winners well represent the different approaches and "disciplines" of nature photography.
First place went to the highly evocative image of an ibex facing the force of a storm by Stanislao Basileo; second place was taken by Marco Antonini's photo of the "dance of life" of a couple of demoiselle cranes in the delicate moment of egg laying. Third place went to the dramatic black and white, enhanced by the range of chiaroscuros, taken by Véronique Andre's photo showing the effects of a summer snowfall on the steep faces of the Dent Parrachée in the Vanoise massif.
The categories dedicated to the individual protected areas saw the success of Maurizio Trifilidis' "Autumn on Lake Barrea" (for the Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise National Park), the "Fairy tale of a night – Leonessa Bivouac" by Giacomo Baffetti (Gran Paradiso National Park), the "Dosegù at sunset " by Matteo Berbenni (Stelvio National Park) and the photo "Les Gliéres - Pralognan-la-Vanoise" by Jacky Deleurence (Parc National de la Vanoise).

THE CONTEST IS COMING BACK!
Fotografare il Parco”, the international competition organised by the Italian National Parks of Stelvio, Gran Paradiso, Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise and the French National Park of la Vanoise, supported by the patronage of Alparc (Network of Alpine Protected Areas) and Federparchi has reached its 15th edition.
WE ARE ALMOST THERE!
Dear friends of "Fotografare il Parco",
the new photo upload procedure is unfortunately taking longer than expected.
AN UPDATE OF THE SITUATION
We decided not to organise an awards ceremony, due to the uncertainty during the last few months. We wanted to hold it in a safe and sicure environment, but this not being possible, the organisers decided to send out the prizes to the winners.
THE AUTHORS OF THE WINNING PHOTOS ARE HERE
Let us introduce you the winners in the different categories of the XIV edition of the contest, at least in photograph. We hope that an improvement in the health emergency will allow us to arrange a face-to-face award ceremony, by respecting all the safety conditions required.
We remind you that, behind this gallery of authors’ portraits and their wonderful award-winning photographs – as well as many others submitted – there are people who share a passion for nature and photography. Each of them has a different sensitivity and translates it into the ability to describe, through images, the beauty of our Parks.
