The jury for the competition, which upholds the tradition of producing an almanac with citizen contributions, met in recent weeks to analyze the submissions. The photographs had to be taken within the municipality of A Coruña and showcase its cultural, historical, natural, and landscape heritage, with technical quality and originality being key factors.
The jury comprised photojournalists César Quián, Carlos Pardellas, and Xabier Quintana, along with Andy Pérez, head of photography for the City Council. Mayor Inés Rey and council members Nereida Canosa, Roberto Coira, and Francisco Jorquera also participated.
In addition to the 13 selected images (12 for the months and one for the cover), the almanac will include historical photographs of the city. The phrase heading the calendar will be 'A Coruña, luz do Atlántico' (A Coruña, light of the Atlantic).
The winning photographers will receive a collection of photography books and a year of free access for two people to the A Coruña Scientific Museums. The selected images are by Eduardo Mosqueira (cover), Chencho Mendoza (January), Daniel Martí (February), Jéssica Dopico Tuimil (March), Carlos Briones Bioslada (April), David Couce (May), Manuel Candal (June), Saturio Maderuelo (July), Xabier R. Blanco (August), Xoan Eiras (September), Rosa Cagiao Pérez (October), Óscar Ferreiro (November), and Daniel López Cao (December).
