María Ramírez and Elsa Richmond have won the third monthly award in the Plaza in Focus photography competition launched in July by the RMR in Ronda to celebrate the 225th anniversary of its bullring in Ronda. The winners, both secondary school students in Ronda, have been awarded with a cash prize of € 200. With their image they have shared their particular way of seeing the plaza in a photograph entitled “Ni al sol ni a la sombra. ¡En el agua!“: originality and creativity to add a little fun to the competition. The image will be used in promotional material by the bullring in Ronda and included in an exhibition in 2011. 

The competition has been launched via flickr and has been popular amongst visitors with almost 260 images uploaded in the first three months. The RMR hopes to get visitors to share their unique way of seeing and experiencing the monument during its 225th anniversary. The idea is to get their creative juices roused by the architecture, history, arts and culture of a monument that has been the inspiration for fabulous artists such as Orson Welles and Ernest Hemingway.

The photography contest will run until the 15th December 2010 awarding the best and most creative images taken by visitors of the bullring, manège and exhibition rooms and uploaded to the flickr platform. The fourth monthly winner will be announced as of the 16th November.
