A Ring of Light
To do so, we will cycle across the 6 continents to meet and interview these entrepreneurs. Our first mission, taken on by the 3 founders (2 friends and I): 10,000km across South America, from Buenos Aires to Quito. Then, new teams of students will take up the torch on another continent every year!
This first edition, this adventure in the arms of Nature gives me the opportunity to see amazing things in amazing places and eventually take amazing shots.

entry description
This is a night picture of a 22° halo surrounding the Moon. A 22° halo is an optical phenomenon that belongs to the family of ice crystal halos, as we can see on the photo. This one formed as the moonlight is refracted in millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. I am currently cycling 10,000km from Buenos Aires to Quito with 2 friends for the non-profit organization we founded, Rocket Bike, aiming at creating an entrepreneur guidebook to help those who want to start a business abroad. The night just before we arrived in Calama (Chile) we witnessed this extraordinary phenomenon. I took my Nikon D800, my wide-angle lens and went outside, alone in the mountains to capture its beauty. We were so amazed with this sight and picture that we thought of entering photo contests with it. After all, a monetary prize such as yours would greatly help us in our project!about the photographer
