The cost of the prize is charged to budget application 1.920.48007 of the current municipal budget, for a total amount of 250.00 euros. The document is signed by the mayor, Lluís Salvi Camp, on November 4, 2026.

Who can participate and what can be submitted

The contest is open to any person who is not a professional photographer or a member of the jury. The call defines a non-professional as someone who does not have a professional qualification in the subject and who does not work in the sector, a condition that must be declared in the annex of the call. Participants must also meet the requirements of article 13 of Law 38/2003. If a minor wins, they must be accompanied by an adult legal representative or guardian to collect the prize.

The theme is free, but the photograph must allow for clear identification that it was taken within the municipal district, that is, in Vilobí, Salitja, or Sant Dalmai. The requirements for the works are:

• A maximum of 3 works per contestant, original and unpublished.
• They must not have been awarded or be pending a verdict in any other contest.
• They must not have been previously disseminated by any medium or channel, such as the internet or exhibition halls.
• Images that violate personal rights or that are offensive, violent, inflammatory, defamatory, or discriminatory will be excluded.

Format, delivery, and jury

Files must be submitted in JPEG, JPG, PNG, or TIFF format, with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi, horizontal orientation, and a size proportional to 300 by 200 millimeters; they may be in color or black and white. Works can be sent to ajuntament@vilobidonyar.cat with the subject “Concurs calendari 2027” or submitted at the municipal offices. A separate sheet must be attached containing:

• The title of the photograph and the name of the author.
• The email address and a contact telephone number.
• The location and date on which each photograph was taken.

No name or personal data, signature, or watermark may be included within the image file. The jury will be composed of people from the municipality linked to photography and the winner of the previous edition, who cannot participate this year. It is technical in nature and subject to the grounds for abstention in Article 23 of Law 40/2015. Voting is secret and the decision is final; the verdict will be made public during the first days of December 2026.

The prize and the dissemination of the works

The award consists of a nominative check for 250 euros for the winner, the publication of their photograph on the cover of the 2027 calendar and as the header of one of the twelve months. The following eleven selected works will receive a gift and will be included inside the calendar, each in a month of the year. The submitted photographs will become part of the municipal photographic archive and may be used in promotional publications of the municipality, never for profit, and will not be returned to the authors.

The call for entries consolidates a formula that links citizen participation with the promotion of the municipality’s cultural and natural heritage. For residents fond of photography, it is a direct way to see their vision of the municipal district printed on an object of daily use in all homes throughout 2027, with financial recognition and the dissemination that comes with the calendar cover.
