正文(英文) | Rudolf Sulgan’s image, Blizzard, showing Brooklyn Bridge in New York, has been announced the winner of the Royal Meteorological Society’s Weather Photographer of the Year 2020, in association with AccuWeather. Of a shortlist of 26 images chosen from over 7,700 entered into the competition, Blizzard was chosen as the overall winner by an esteemed panel of judges.
Liz Bentley, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) and panel judge, said:
This was echoed by judge Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather expert meteorologist and Social Media Manager.
Mark Boardman, Owner of StormHour Ltd, also part of this year’s judging panel, added:
The other judges were Gareth Mon Jones; winner of Weather Photographer of the Year 2019 and Matt Clark; photo editor of RMetS Weather magazine. Young Weather Photographer of the YearThe Young Weather Photographer of the Year 2020 (17 and under category) was awarded to 17-year-old Kolesnik Stephanie Sergeevna, from Russia, with her image Frozen Life.
The Public FavouriteThe shortlisted images were put to a public vote, with an overwhelming response of 11,275 votes cast for the 26 finalists representing 15 countries. The winning image was Baikal Treasure, taken by Alexey Trofimov from Siberia. Located in the Russian region of Siberia, Lake Baikal is the world’s deepest and largest freshwater lake – containing about one-fifth of the freshwater on Earth. The lake is covered in ice for almost five months and as the temperature drops through winter, the uneven freezing of the lake results in some blocks being pushed up, which are then sculpted by the wind, sublimation, melting and refreezing. Lake Baikal is renowned for its many ice formations and their turquoise appearance. The Runners Up (decided by Judging Panel)
Runner up in the Young Weather Photographer category was Emma Rose Karsten – Surf’s Up.
The winners were announced on Saturday 17 October, at RMetS WeatherLive: Past, Present and Future - Celebrating 170 years of the Royal Meteorological Society. The 2021 calendar featuring all the winners and finalists of Weather and Young Weather Photographer of the Year 2020 is now available to buy via the RMetS online shop. |
