June 15 is Global Wind Day and to honor that event, the European Wind Energy Association together with the Global Wind Energy Council is organizing a photo contest. The winner will get a voucher to shop on Amazon worth €1,000 or about U.S. $1,292. It will become part of an online photography collection called Hard Rain Project, and be published in the renewable energy newspaper 'Recharge' as well as in the European wind energy industry magazine Wind Directions.

Five runners up will win €250 or about U.S. $322. All of the winning images will be announced on June 15, 2012, and displayed in various places around Brussels.
"Wind power is an essential source of clean energy in over 80 countries today," Lauha Fried, Communications Director at GWEC said in a press release. "We'd like to see photos taken from all around the world and encourage everyone to participate by sending us your best shots. A new feature for this year's edition is the continental subcategory where a winner will be chosen for each continent."
The competition is open until May 6, 2012. To submit photos, visit Global Wind Day. Good luck!
