Anja Wins Burren Photo Contest
Anja Kolie, who was born in Croatia and is based in Liscannor, has won a photography competition hosted by the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Global Geoparks Networks.
Anja’s image of the Doolin shoreline with the Cliffs of Moher in the background has been selected as winner by a judging panel comprising geopark geologist Dr. Eamon Doyle and professional photographer Eamon Ward.
The photograph will now be submitted to a national competition, in which her entry will be judged against the winners of similar contests hosted by Ireland’s three other geoparks - the Copper Coast in Waterford, Cuilcagh Lakelands in Cavan and Fermanagh, and Mourne Gullion Strangford in Down. The Irish winner will be sent forward to compete against entries from the 229 UNESCO Global Geoparks across the world.
To mark her competition win, Anja was also presented with a hamper by Birgitta Curtin of Burren Smokehouse.
