Photography Competition : Prix Pictet

Results

The Prix Pictect is a major new photography prize for professional and amateur photographers. Its focus (pun intended) is on the global issue of 'sustainability' - this year the subject is water.

Canadian photographer Benoit Aquin has been crowned 2008 winner. Benoit's work, and images from some of the 17 other photographers who made the shortlist, can be seen here. Well worth a look. (Maybe next year's subject should be digital photography and the internet, and their contribution to global resource depletion. It's a thought).
