Participation in photo contests is a fun component of being photographer for me. I am fully aware of how subjective this is thought and that it very much depends on the "taste" of members of the juries of particular competitions. Therefore, I don´t overestimate any of the successes I have achieved so far.
Nevertheless, I am still extremely honored that a few juries appreciated my work and awarded some of my photos in photo contests. Please see below some of my major recognitions such as winning series "Elusive Moments" in Czech Press Photo (category: Nature, Science and the Environment), two first awards in french photo contest Festival de l´Oiseau et de la Nature (categories: Water Games and Series), two first awards in Czech Nature Photo (single photo "The Seagull" in category Birds and series "Souls of Birds") and alsotwo first awards in another french photo contect Festival de la Camargue (categories Portfolio and and single photo "Curves" in Nature Sauvage en Camargue).
Links to individual winning photo galleries are below each photo.
