Last Thursday, February 18, the organization of the VI Iberian Circuit made public the results of the failures of the four international photography salons, among which is our IV International Photographic Exhibition of Antequera, together with those of Vilanova and la Geltrú, Guadalajara and Berga consolidating one more year as one of the most prestigious international photography circuits since it is endorsed by the FIAP (Federation Internationlale de l'Art Photographique), PSA (American Photographic Society), CEF (Spanish Confederation of Photography), FCF (Catalan Federation of Photography and FAF (Andalusian Federation of Photography.
In our salon we have had a prestigious jury made up of Ms. Katy Gómez López, Mr. José Antonio Andrés Ferriz and Mr. Juan José Martín Pino, all of them photographers backed by an excellent photographic curriculum who proceeded to their verdict. This year, since it could not be made public as usual, it was done online and via videoconference; After examining the 5,945 photographs submitted by 405 authors from 52 states around the world, they awarded the 65 prizes distributed by the show, among which the "FIAP Blue Pin" for the best author of the show was awarded to Ching Ching Chan from Hong Kong, and the special Trophy of the “Dolmen de Antequera” salon to Marga Pons Castejón for her work “Megalithic Nigh”; Also our AFA partner, Florentino Molero, obtained with his work "The picture of oranges", the Silver medal awarded by the Spanish Confederation of Photography (CEF).
The exhibition of the IV International Photographic Exhibition of Antequera brings together the Photographs awarded in this edition that can be seen in the FIAP Exhibition Center of our city, and which has aroused great interest in the quality of the work on display, so we hope it will be a great success of visits.
