While the main priority is the documentary value of the photographs, consideration is also given to the author’s personal vision in the search for spontaneous and original images.
The City of Igualada Awards for Artistic Creation are prizes given by the Igualada Town Hall Department of Culture in partnership with other local entities.
The award for photography consists of the Procopi Llucià Prize, which has the backing of the local photography society, the Agrupación Fotográfica de Igualada (AFI). While the main priority is the documentary value of the photographs, consideration is also given to the author’s personal vision in the search for spontaneous and original images.
The prize bears the name of one of the AFI’s founders in 1930; an author who photographed places and events that are part of the local history of both the town itself and the county. The work of this photographer work forms the basis of the Municipal Photographic Archive.
The prize for the best author in 2024 is Txema Lacunza.
