The Waterblitz photo and video competition brings to life an array of fun, interest, love and dedication we all have for our waterways across Ireland. The photos we received this year did not disappoint and it was very hard for the judges to choose amongst so many different ones. We received so many amazing perspectives of water and what it meant to everyone. We would like to thank everyone who took part in the WaterBlitz photo and video competition and who gave their time in collecting such wonderful snaps.
