During the month of July 2021, the 29th Biennial of France 2021 was failed. The result has not arrived until this month and with excellent news. One of the Spanish teams has achieved the FIAP Gold Medal in the Color category thanks to the series ‘La Vía Láctea’. The other Spanish team that was presented has been in position 20 of 42 countries presented.
The Biennial of France is a contest organized by FIAP (Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique), an international organization of national photography associations. In Spain this position is held by the CEF (Spanish Confederation of Photography).
As its name suggests, it is celebrated every two years changing the theme: even-numbered years for the Biennials of Black and white and Nature, odd-numbered years for the Biennial of Colour.
And this year two Spanish teams have participated in the category of Colour, one dedicated to the portrait and the other to the Milky Way. And they have achieved an excellent result.
