To celebrate Valencia's year as European Capital of Sport 2011, the Municipal Sport Foundation and the EFE news agency would like to award prizes for photographs taken by the public that best reflect the spirit of Valencian popular sports, by organizing a public photography competition. The photographs must emphasize the spirit of solidarity, cooperation and the valuing of effort involved in practicing different forms of sport, both amateur and professional, and how this shows through in the city of Valencia.

Any amateur photographer of any nationality who resides in the Valencian Autonomous Community can take part. The deadline for sending in pictures is the 23rd March of this year.

The chosen photographs will be exhibited on the 5th floor of the El Corte Inglés store on "Pintor Sorolla," coinciding with the photography exhibition "40 years of sport in Valencia". Members of the public attending the exhibition will be able to vote for one of these selected photographs in the Public's Prize category. A qualified jury will also choose the three photographs that best illustrate the spirit of the competition and one thousand euros in prize money will be distributed.
