HAVANA TIMES — It’s time to present the pictures from the 6th HT Cuba Photo Contest that made it to the second round of selection. We received a total of 555 pictures from 72 participants competing in the five categories: Cuba y Night, Achievements, Failures, Housing and Billboards/Posters.
The jury, which is still in session, is comprised of 20 persons living in 11 countries.
During the first round of selection we asked the jurors to pick a maximum of 25 photos in each category.
After tabulation, the cutoff point was at five votes. Thus to make it to the second round, at least five of the jurors had to have picked the given photograph.
Surviving the first cut were: Cuba by Night (31) Achievements (32) Failures (29) Housing (34) and Billboards/Posters (37).
Forty-eight of the 72 participants had at least one photo making it to the second round of the contest.
The following are all of the photos that made it to Round Two. As with the jury, the photos appear without names or captions.
