    SUGi x NAVA Photography Contest

    In 2022, together with our forest partner NAVA Contemporary, we launched our inaugural Photography Contest around the theme: “Rewild our eyes. Show us the ways you connect to Nature”. We received over 500 submissions, globally, resulting in almost 4,000 images to select from. Ten winners were granted cash prizes totaling $10,000 with a grand prize of $4,000.

    The jury certainly had a tough time deciding, but felt that the selected winning images best showed us how to bring nature closer. In the words of one of the jurors: “the winning entries handled the idea of nature and rewilding — how it intrigues, encompases and conquers — but they also asked you to look, and look again.”
