Tenute Rubino > Salento Photography Tellers > Thematic sections and prizes

The contest’s common thread is articulated in three sections, each with its own corresponding theme: three interpretative keys to unlock the beauty and traditions of this land.

- Section A -

BETWEEN THE IONIC AND THE ADRIATIC: THE INFINITY OF THE SEA

The 'Between the Ionic and the Adriatic: the infinity of the sea' section focuses on the seas of Salento, which are both its boundary and its key to the outside world. Photographers intending to compete in this section should point their lenses to everything related to the poetic allure of Salento’s seas: maritime panoramas, historical and touristic sites on the coastlands, seafaring activities, traditions, and people.

A weekend for two at the Relais, in the Superior King room dedicated specifically to Tenute Rubino, has a value of about 320 euros; the prize also includes a delicious DINNER for two at the Relais’ restaurant, matched with wines by Tenute Rubino, valued about 150 euros.

- Section B -

THE WOMEN’S HARVEST AT TENUTE RUBINO

The section: "The women’s harvest at Tenute Rubino" is a tribute of gratitude to those women which have kept alive the ancient bond between vines, wine and community, and which thus represent a unique and irreplaceable trait of Apulia and of its traditions. The pictures will have to interpret the work traditionally carried out by women at Tenute Rubino: an ancient custom of Salento, passed down from generation to generation, by means of which the women of the local communities have become the depositaries of an unparalleled mastery in the arts of viticulture – a trait which Tenute Rubino valorises attentively (to learn more about this tradition, please visit the following link: 'la vendemmia delle donne nel Salento'). The photographers will have the chance of moving freely throughout Tenute Rubino’s Jaddico Estate - which lies next to the Adriatic Sea, eight kilometers north of Brindisi – and of interacting with the estate’s highly specialized personnel.  For further details on how to compete in this section, please read article 7 of the rulebook.

SALENTO! A NARRATION IN PICTURES

Salento brims with stories waiting to be narrated. The section: "Salento! A narration in pictures" will privilege the photographers’ ability to translate their gazes into effective narrations. Therefore the pictures competing in this section should recount the stories of Salento and of its people; stories of urban life, stories of the countryside and of its social customs – in general, stories that the photographer deems worthy of being remembered and narrated to the public. N.B.: you may participate in this section with up to 3 sets of pictures. Each set must contain between 3 and 7 pictures.
