For more than 25 years, Pilar Negredo, has been encouraging young people to show their most creative side through photography and the 25th Foto Jove 2021 photographic awards are being held at Casal Solleric in Palma today.

Foto Jove has reached 1,300 students aged 9-20 who were distributed into three categories.

Images captured by participants from 21 schools all over Mallorca bring light and colour to a landscape that’s been marred by Covid-19 for months.

"They broke the mould, more than 5,000 photographs were viewed by FotoJove in order to create the Colour I Vida Exhibition,” explains Pilar Negredo. “The colourful photography of artists, such as Ouka Lele, the great creators of Pop Art, the masters of geometric colour and the great nature photographers bring a cheerful, colourful vision to our world in Covid times,” says Negredo.
