    Ideas and background

    The Enns has always shaped life in the Enns Valley. Show us what you associate with “your Enns” with a photo or work of art! Use your photo or artwork to convey your perspective on the river. What characterizes “your Enns” and how can you capture that in a photo or work of art?

    Rivers are crucial ecosystems, but they are also exposed to severe stress due to the many uses in the river basins. Of course you can also address this topic. You can also take up this topic, for example. Numerous plans and projects are currently dealing with this, which are intended to improve the ecological condition of the Enns. One project is the Enns water development and risk management concept , which is being created as part of LIFE IRIS. This project is also the background of the competition.
