•How

Each participant must fill out the registration form and submit one (1) photograph to getxophoto@gmail.com* in relation to the theme that shapes the 2025 Getxophoto Festival program: REC—the overabundance of images that exhausts our sensitivity, the proliferation of fake images, the structural limits of data centers… What is the future of the image in this scenario of extreme recording (REC)?

* The image must be a JPG file with a minimum size of 2400 x 1600 pixels and a resolution of 240 dpi.

•Where the photos will be displayed

–The organization, in collaboration with Gorka Garate and Eukene Olague, will select around thirty images to be exhibited in the shop windows of various businesses from the Algortako Dendak merchants’ association, depending on the suitability of the format and exhibition space.

–A guide will be published featuring both the selected images and the participating businesses, providing a route for those who wish to enjoy the photographic walk.

–Algortako Dendak Association, a partner of the activity, will select what it considers to be the best photograph taken by a photographer from Getxo and will award a prize of a €100 voucher, redeemable in one of the participating stores.
