The 11th photography marathon has commenced, paying tribute to Pep Aguareles and marking the 200th anniversary of the first photograph in history. This year's initiative aims to stimulate photography and inspire participants to capture the best images possible.
Neus Mola, head of the art school, noted, "The initiative of the marathon has been to stimulate photography and encourage the desire to capture the best photograph. We have 45 individuals in the Max-Marathon category, along with 6 families. There are 7 themes in the Max-Marathon, some of which are linked to the Shop in Andorra Festival."
Both amateur and professional photographers have set out to find original perspectives using cameras and smartphones, testing their visual ingenuity and creativity. Participant Pere Cerqueda remarked, "I am looking for angles and themes to create a general theme with all the photos. We are all here, piled together. We could all take the same type of photo, which challenges us to showcase our most creative and personal side. It is very interesting for the youth, as it offers a highly creative approach, and I encourage everyone to try it."
Despite the rain, participants remained undeterred in their quest for photographs and the chance to win prizes. A total of €3,500 will be awarded to winners across various categories.
