The categories

The Serra de Tramuntana Photography Contest is framed this year on the tenth anniversary of the Declaration of the Serra de Tramuntana as World Heritage by UNESCO in the category of Cultural Landscape. That is why he will focus on this event to set its sights both on the elements of the Serra that have remained unchanged over time and on those that have evolved.

The first category is “La Serra intacta”, which aims to capture the physical environment of the Serra, with images where alterations made by humans are not appreciated. “Vida a la Serra” will deal with biodiversity: humans, animals and plants that coexist within the space that comprises the Serra de Tramuntana. The third, “Transformation of the Serra”, is the category that emphasizes human impact, always in a respectful way, to adapt life to the adverse conditions of the terrain. It is the space for photographs on the elements of the ethnological heritage of the Serra (dry stone and the hydraulic network). Finally, the fourth category, “Refuge to the Serra”, will seek to give prominence to the shelters that have been built in the Serra de Tramuntana, such as possessions, villages or defense towers.
