The sixth floor of El Corte Inglés has been the setting for the awards ceremony of the IX Cartagena Puerto de Culturas Photography Contest.
The mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, the manager of Puerto de Culturas, Agustina Martínez and the director of El Corte Inglés in Cartagena, Alfredo Carvajal, were in charge of delivering the diplomas and gift cards that were granted in this photographic event .
The two runners-up, which were chosen with the votes of the people who attended the exhibition of the 50 finalists, have corresponded to Isabel Borrego's 'Asiático', and María Consuelo de Hornos's 'Caida de un empio'.
Both have received a diploma and gift card from El Corte Inglés worth 100 euros.
The second prize has corresponded to the photo of Fernando Saura, entitled 'Rincones de Cartagena', which has received his accreditation diploma and a gift card worth 200 euros.
Finally, the first prize has been awarded, awarded by a jury of experts in photography and tourism to the snapshot 'Rincón con Misterio', presented by Juan Soler Gómez.
He has received a diploma and a gift card worth 500 euros.
Asked by the attendees about his photography, he explained that it, in which you can see a part of the Cemetery of Santa Lucia with the church in the background wrapped in fog, took one morning after seeing the unusual weather in the city .
After the delivery to the winners for the photographs, among the 800 people who have voted, a fifth prize consisting of a gift card of El Corte Inglés worth 100 euros has been raffled off.
A girl from the audience has taken a random vote from the ballot box.
The winner was Pedro Torres, who coincidentally was witnessing the awards ceremony and was able to receive his with great joy in hand.
The mayor of Cartagena thanked El Corte Inglés for its commitment to the city and all the cultural events in which it collaborates, and has been happy to renew this contest year after year, which grows with each edition "quantitatively and qualitatively", and it serves to give visibility to the most beautiful corners of the city.
For his part Alfredo Carvajal has indicated that from the Shopping Center he directs, it is not only seeking excellence in the service and products chosen, but also showing an active commitment to the city and the future.
The motto of this edition has been "Cartagena, places with mystery".
More than 160 images have been presented to the contest, capturing charming corners between the streets full of modernist art from the port city, new lenses of the sites and museums that play with lights and shadows.
Photographs have been taken with new locations in the magnificent harbor that contains magical and enchanting places.
