Open to all perspectives

The open nature of MedFoto is reinforced this year with the launch of the new Popular category.

New prizes

In 2025, MedFoto will once again distribute up to 4,000 euros in cash prizes among the absolute winning image and the winners of each of the contest categories and will introduce two new special prizes:

  • Young Talents: A voucher of 200 € for photographic material for the best author under 21 years old.

The jury is renewed

To select the best photographs, MedFoto has a jury of experts in photography and the marine environment that this year is renewed with the incorporation of photographers Adriana Olsina and David Salcedo. Laura Carrau, Oriol Alamany, and Xavier Salvador complete the team.

The most awaited moment

The winning authors will be announced at a ceremony to be held on Saturday, July 26 at Club Nàutic L’Escala.

The event will mark the beginning of the exhibition of the winning and finalist photographs of the fifth edition of MedFoto, which can be visited in the Boardroom of the sports club until August 26.
