Last night we finished entering into the database the submissions received via email, CD and other means. The final tally of photos that were submitted stands at a staggering 6,570 entries.
We are now in the process of sorting through the submissions to discard irrelevant entries (photos of other countries, satellite images, test submissions by staff etc). With this many entries the sorting is also taking a very long time.
We will then announce the judging process and the panel of judges.
Thank you for your patience.

Concerning my
Environment
I was thinking about my self..
What would be the best idea to protect our environment ?
What can I do my self to protect our environment ?
I am a-10-years old Maldivian My name is Ijaz Jaiz my native place is maathoda, and I am living in Villingili. I’ve always cared a lot about the climate, and our environment, and the beautiful Earth.
Well, it WAS beautiful before my father said to me. He said he remember when he was young, there weren’t so many tall buildings, modern cars, or visitations of providence. So there was less pollution, less noise, and less cry.
Instead, God gave us a nice world for everyone to build up. There were flowers everywhere, and animals as well as plants lived together with us. So were the land and the blue ocean. But nothing stays. So sad. So bad. We all see the situation now.
“why,why,does the tiger fun
why,why,do we shoot the gun
Why,why, why why we throws plastic bags in to the sea and jungle, do we never learn ?
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?
Why,why,do we say we care
Tell me why?
Why,why,do we stand and stare
Tell me why?
Why,why,do the dolphins cry
Can someone tell us why we let the ocean die?
Why,why,if we’re all the same
Tell me why?
Why,why,do we pass and blame
Tell me why?
Why why does it never end
Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends?
Why why do we close our eyes
Why why do the greedy life
Why why do we fight for land
Can someone tell us why ‘cos we don’t understand?
Why,why?”
This song has proved everything we need to care about and to help with!
Let’s hope, let’s work, let’s get a move on!
