The jury has announced the winners of the LIFE Pinna photography competition, “Life among the reef” 2024 edition. The selection process, which involved sorting through over one hundred entries, many of which were of outstanding technical quality and great naturalistic value, kept the jurors fully engaged. The images were evaluated without prior knowledge of the authors. The evaluation criteria included adherence to the contest theme (with priority given to species observable in the first few meters of water), the “difficulty” of the documented scene (uncommon species and specific behaviors), and the quality of the submitted file.
Here are the winners, along with the accompanying reasons.
