The CCM organized a photography contest with the objective to raise awareness and promote participation of the young Mediterranean people on the issues of environment and climate change. The pictures have treated key challenges as pollution, climate change, desertification, sustainable development and natural resources among other relevant subjects. In order to coincide with the Solferino meeting in June 2009, the CCM decided to extend the deadline until the end of June.

Many young people from different NNSS participated in the contest and we are glad to announce the winner: Alexander Tanaskovic, from Serbia. He has been invited to participate in the Atlantis Youth Camp which will take place in Mehdia (Morocco) in August. In Atlantis a selection of the best pictures will also be displayed.
