In my country there is only one royal castle without too much history. This castle leads me to imagine living an era of great stories and historical events." Image Eleni Zarkada - Principal's Choice "Bubbles outside the National Gallery - an amazing surprise in my first week in Edinburgh! The person who created them was a worldwide traveller and his current stop was Edinburgh, the same as mine for my Master Degree." Image Thomas Dalhuisen - Abroad category winner "This picture was taken during a road trip through the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains. The open road, the mountains and the endless rows of pine trees symbolise the sensation of freedom and adventure I felt while exploring this remote corner of the world. The True North at its best." Image Giada Barzaghi - City and Surroundings category winner "Edinburgh the city of colours. When people think of Edinburgh, they often think about dark-stones buildings and grey weather. I don't think that's a truthful perspective. Edinburgh is filled with intense colours all year round, one of my favourite sceneries being the spring flower blossom." Image Li Yang - People and Community category winner "Festival wonder." Image Poonnapa Poonyalikhit - Stories and Experiences category winner "Snow in Edinburgh was a pleasant surprise in my second year. With the University closed I went to Holyrood Park with my friend for some snowboarding. We rarely see Edinburgh in snow. Snow-covered Edinburgh is just so magical and beautiful that I want to share this experience with everyone."
