The second photographic marathon in Russafa, organised by the local council, concluded with great success, attracting more than 50 participants who took to the streets last Saturday morning to capture the essence, activity, and intricate details of one of the neighbourhood's most iconic spaces, the Mercat de Russafa.
Participants were challenged to present three photographs taken during the event to a panel of judges. After careful deliberation, Layla Luiza Nunez was awarded first prize for her striking black-and-white image of a child in front of the market, a composition that effectively conveys the character and everyday atmosphere of the area.
The second prize went to Gustavo Calderón for his photograph depicting a vendor surrounded by hams, while Fabián Ambrosio secured third place with a creative image that plays with the reflection of a delicatessen stall on a mirrored surface.
Each of the winners will receive €300, €200, and €100 respectively in photographic equipment as recognition for their work and creativity, in addition to being honoured at the municipal awards gala. Paula Llobet, the councillor for Tourism and Innovation and president of the Russafa local council, attended the event, where she viewed the submitted photographs and engaged with participants about their work.
