Since its inception, the Gijón Photographic Encounters have aimed to support new generations by offering a showcase that encourages their careers in a difficult-to-access market

Thus, for twenty-one years, those who love photography have had the unique opportunity to exhibit their work in a renowned institution such as the Barjola Museum in Gijón.

Edition after edition, the scholarship recipients have benefited from the mentorship of leading professionals such as Sandra Balsells, Chema Conesa, Jesús Micó, José Manuel Navia, José María Díaz Maroto, Alejandro Castellote, Matías Costa, Ciuco Gutiérrez... who have ensured the maximum potential of each project.
