'I can't think of a better subject for a contemporary photo competition than wind energy,' said Julian Scola, Communication Director of the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), organisers of the Global Wind Day alongside the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). 'Wind turbines are an icon: symbols of the fight against climate change, of sustainability, of our modern age. While some people noisily oppose wind turbines there are many others who love them and find them a graceful addition to our landscape'. Lauha Fried, Communications Director at GWEC, highlighted the global nature of the competition: 'Wind power is an essential source of clean energy in over 80 countries today - we'd like to see photos taken from all around the world and encourage everyone to participate by sending us your best shots. A new feature for this year's edition is the continental subcategory where a winner will be chosen for each continent'.
