Fira Mediterrània de Manresa invites entries for the third MobileArt photography award 2.0

The competition is sponsored by the Bages flying school

For the third year running, the Fira Mediterrània de Manresa foundation invites entries for the MobileArt photography award 2.0, which involves taking photographs with your mobile during the days of the Fira, from 7th to 10th November 2013. The photos must be shared on the social networks, to build a mosaic of different views of Fira Mediterrània de Manresa.

This year’s competition is once again supported by the Bages flying school, which will give the author of the best photograph a flight in a light aircraft. Finalists will get a bag with the design of the fair, made by the ethical business RUW.

Apart from capturing moments, sensations and perceptions of Fira Mediterrània, the aim of the competition is to develop the practice of MobileART, which the inexorable rise in the use of mobile phones has spread among artists and the public, enabling them to produce their own creations.

232 photographs were entered for the 2012 edition of the competition, 150 posted on Instagram, 72 on Twitter and 10 on Facebook. The year before, the competition got off to a modest start with 16 photographs, all of them submitted through Facebook.
