First prize: “Geological terrine in Jamestown Ghana ” by Asonkey Alexander.
“What inspired me to capture this photograph is the zeal I get from the beauty of the environment. I’m always inquisitive about every piece of the nature world”. (Asonkey Alexander)
The second and third places went to Martha Papadopoulou, for her photo “Melting the secrets of rocks”, taken in Leicester, United Kingdom and Manuel Regueiro for “Lava flows in La Palma volcanic eruption 2021” from La Palma Island, Spain, respectively.
