The winning image was taken by Björn Köcher (@bjoekoe) and includes the words "The World is Too Small for Walls" written on a replica of a piece of the Berlin Wall. The judges felt that this image stood out for them, both as a reflection of the uniqueness of the city, but also as a powerful reminder that the global movement towards open and transparent communication has roots in historical events of the past.
