    Si, todo muy bien, muy correcto explicado y redactado. Pero estaría bien que desde dentro, desde la organización de concursos como este, se planteen el reconocimiento de la dedicación de tiempo, esfuerzo y exclusividad que requiere presentar un trabajo así. Premien el “savoir Fer” de la gente, para hacer un fotografía con las características que exigís implica mucha genuidad, y vosotros pretendéis que sea gratuita. El artista también come.

      Hola Olalla. ICRE es una asociación sin ánimo de lucro que se sustenta básicamente con las aportaciones de nuestros socios. Ya nos gustaría poder dotar de un premio económico el concurso pero, por el momento, esto escapa de nuestro presupuesto. A pesar de ello, consideramos interesante organizar este tipo de concursos y ofrecer la posibilidad de visibilizar la obra de fotógrafos dentro de nuestro circulo de seguidores con la publicación del catálogo (donde evidentemente se reconocerá la autoría de la foto de portada), la exposición de las obras seleccionadas y toda la difusión que podamos hacer en nuestras redes sociales. Como artistas somos conscientes, pues forma parte de nuestro día a día, de lo que supone la lucha porque se valore nuestro trabajo. No nos gustaría que entendieras el concurso como una manera de aprovecharnos y/o menospreciar el trabajo de nadie ya que nosotros no tenemos ningún beneficio económico de las obras que se presenten y nuestra intención simplemente hacer divulgación sobre el mundo de la escultura y con este proyecto queremos crear sinergias con la fotografía, todo ello, como te he comentado, sin ánimo de lucro y con la mejor intención. Un cordial saludo y gracias por tu comentario.
