Under the motto ‘Water forces! Visible signs of floods and flash floods’, the Flood Prize of the Rhine Flood Emergency Association has now been launched. Until 30 April 2025, participants can send photos and videos by email to ueifler@gstbrp.de or post them on Facebook or Instagram using the hashtags #wassergewalten and #hochwasserpreis. The jury consists of representatives from Südwestfunk, the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine and representatives from the DKKV. The Flood Prize 2024/2025 is about signs in cities and municipalities, but also traces in nature that indicate floods and flash floods. These can be flood marks, protective structures, records of past events or reports from contemporary witnesses. Go on a journey of discovery and record floods with photos and videos to win the flood prize!
