PRIX PICTET hopes to ‘use the power of the photographic medium to bring home crucial sustainability messages to a global audience’. The shortlisted photographers have now been announced on the Prix Pictet website and they are: Benoit Aquin, Edward Burtynsky, Jesus Abad Colorado, Thomas Joshua Cooper, Sebastian Copeland, Christian Cravo, Lynn Davis, Reza Deghati, Susan Derges, Malcolm Hutcheson, Chris Jordan, Carl De Keyzer, David Maisel, Mary Mattingly, Robert Polidori, Roman Signer, Jules Spinatsch and Munem Wasif.
To help the jury decide on the winning image (which will be awarded a substantial prize of £50,000 in October 2008) the public is invited to cast their vote online.
See it for yourself. (And fix that leaking tap too!)
