The Association of Friends of the Enrique Escudero de Castro Municipal Archaeological Museum of Cartagena (MVSAEDOMVS) presented on Saturday October 26 the prizes of the IV Antonio Acosta Hernández Photography Contest on Archaeological Heritage of the Region of Murcia.
It is organized by MVSAEDOMVS, with the collaboration of the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena and the Archaeological Museum itself.
The awards ceremony was held at the Municipal Archaeological Museum and was attended by the Councilor for Culture of the City of Cartagena, Carlos Piñana, the archaeologist and head of archeology of the Municipal Archaeological Museum, Miguel Martin, as well as, the widow of Antonio Acosta Hernández, Emilia Rodríguez de Viguri.
The Association of Friends of the Municipal Archaeological Museum of Cartagena (MVSAEDOMVS) convened the fourth edition of the Antonio Acosta Hernández Photography Contest, in homage to its first president.
The contest is focused on the archaeological heritage, since we know that Archeology brings us some material goods with a historical, cultural and aesthetic value that give us back the essence of the people who lived in each historical framework.
With this contest, and its subsequent exhibition, it is intended to pose a challenge to the photographer's gaze so that it picks up that essence and captures these values, at the same time, that serves to disseminate the fabulous archaeological heritage that our Region has.
The first edition focused on the archaeological heritage of Cartagena and Comarca, but from the second edition, it extended to the entire Region of Murcia.
The works, unpublished and original, either in color or in black and white, were presented until October 6 at the headquarters of the Municipal Archaeological Museum 'Enrique Escudero de Castro'.
In total, 35 works were submitted.
The jury was composed of renowned professionals in the areas of Archeology and Photography.
As regards the awards, there were three: the 1st one with 500 euros and a trophy (a sculpture by the sculptor Fernando Sáenz de Elorrieta);
the 2nd, with 300 euros;
and the 3rd, with 100 euros.
The jury also awarded an 'Honorable Mention'.
Then, the exhibition of works that will be exhibited until January 8 in the exhibition hall of the Municipal Archaeological Museum was inaugurated.
