RESULTS OF THE MENSA WORLD PHOTOCUP COMPETITION 2024 🏆

The winner of the PhotoCup competition 2024 and "Mensa International Photographer of the Year" is Alessandro Moser of Mensa Switzerland, for his spectacular photo, "Fireball", below. Many congratulations Alessandro!

Alessandro Moser, a passionate many-award winning photographer, has written a few words especially for us on the occasion of his PhotoCup award, that we are happy and honored to publish on our Mensa Cyprus Page:

"This has been my first PhotoCup ever. That's why I feel so honored to be this year's winner. Even though I'm not a professional photographer, I've always pursued my passion for aviatic and art. 2024 has been a very successful year in the national and international market for me to establish. For my future my wish is to live from my art. For the Mensa PhotoCup I like to see more members to express themselves through photography, even if they're not professionals."

Alessandro is currently working on becoming self-employed in the field of art and photography. He has already been able to put his website Spotty-graphy.com online, and has also images on Instagram .
