Photo printing company CEWE shares a sneak peek from its photography competition.
Photo printing company CEWE has shared 15 photographs that capture the true beauty of flowers around us, from sunflowers in Germany to tulips in the Netherlands.
CEWE has given us a sneak peek at some of this year's entries for its 2023 Photo Award. The annual competition sees photo enthusiasts submit their very best snaps within 10 categories, with this year's motto being: Our world is beautiful.
'Flowers are one of the most beautiful things to look at. From bright coloured tulips to delicate lilies, they embody so much natural beauty. They are also really special as they are connected to important memories and events in life, such as weddings and birthdays or to say thank you and show you care. Because of this, there’s a comfort that comes from seeing and being around them,' says a spokesperson at CEWE.
