Fascinating water: The 50 best works of the Agora photo contest #Water2020

The Agora photo application presented 50 finalists of the #Water2020 contest, to which more than 8,700 works from around the world were sent. The winner of the contest was a picture of ants thirsty. He won the most votes in five rounds of voting.

The #Water2020 contest was launched on February 28, and a month later, on March 25, the 50 best works were selected, demonstrating rivers, lakes, seas and oceans around the world. Then Agora users could cast their votes and decide which photo impressed them the most and was worthy of becoming the winner of the contest.
