Online photo and film competition sparks climate change and energy debate in Cyprus

A NEW online photo and film competition has been launched, sparking debate about Climate Change in Cyprus. 

The organisers, NGO Support Centre and the Cyprus Community Media Centre, with the support of the European Commission Representation in Cyprus, are calling on entrants to creatively express the issue through photography and film. The competition deadline is November 18 and the winners in both categories will win an iPad2.

The competition is open to all, with the condition that the photos and videos submitted have as a theme Climate Change or Energy in Cyprus.  A large proportion of the judging process will involve how actively the films and photos are promoted online and the attention they receive in terms of views and social media ‘likes’.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
