Sixth Call for Postcards: Greetings from the Islands

Postcards

Share your summer vacation impressions from EU islands. The stunning beaches, vibrant sunsets, and picturesque landscapes captured during summer can be beautifully complemented by wind turbines in the distance. European islands are using different means of renewable energy. Submit your picture from an EU island, including solar panels, wind turbines, charging stations, or other sustainability projects along with beautiful landscapes! 

Today, on 26 September 2024, we are starting our sixth Call for Postcards! The deadline for this call is 30 November 2024, allowing participants to capture the unique beauty of EU islands and their renewable energy sources in the winter season.

Calling all hobby photographers, island residents, and island municipality members! Regardless of who you are, if you aspire to see your photograph printed as a postcard and distributed at next year’s EU islands forum, please share your impressions with the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat. Submit your shot to info@euislands.eu.

To ensure fairness, we kindly ask previous participants of our other calls to give way to new submissions and refrain from entering this call. Let’s embrace fresh perspectives.

So, how does it all work? It’s simple! Just fill out the provided form and send it, along with your picture and the necessary copyright consent form, to our designated email address: info@euislands.eu 

Please bear in mind that the postcard call will be assessed based on the following criteria:

  • Uniqueness of Concept / Originality
  • Creativity
  • Overall Artistic Impression / Composition
  • Visual Appeal

Wondering what motifs are eligible for submission? While capturing our EU islands' beauty, remember to highlight their renewable energy aspirations! People can be part of your composition (with their consent, of course!), too.

DEADLINE: 30 November 2024

The selected postcards will be showcased on our social media platforms and website and printed for distribution among our regional partners. Furthermore, they will be prominently displayed at next year’s highly anticipated Clean energy for EU islands forum in 2025!
