Send in your best water pics! Water in all its facets is the theme of this year’s Skerries Eco Festival (1-3 September), and Sustainable Skerries are inviting everyone in Skerries to send in their best one, two, or three water photos. No matter if they show our coast or a puddle, floods and droughts, water butts or a drop of water… as long as they were taken in Skerries.

We are delighted that Dave Diebold of Skerries News and the wonderful Skerries Photographers’ Calendar has agreed to be our judge. He will pick the ten best images, which will then be printed on 8×12 blocks and form a temporary exhibition which will be displayed during our festival. All photographs will also be feeding into a slideshow that will be shown during the festival (e.g. before events), and may be used in our Skerries Eco Festival publicity.

The photographers whose photos are chosen for this exhibition will receive their printed pic at the final event on Sunday! 

There may also be prizes for the best three and runners-up… watch this space for announcements, and if you’re in a position to sponsor one of these prizes, do contact us at sustskerries@gmail.com !
