HAVANA TIMES – Today we bring you the survivors of the second cut of this year´s 10^th anniversary Havana Times Cuba Photo Contest. Each year we have made the call to professional and amateur photographers to share their pictures taken on the island.

The 20-member jury includes people participating this year from Canada, Spain, Ireland, Venezuela, United States, El Salvador, Portugal and Nicaragua. Five of the jury members are Cuban. Many of the judges have participated on the jury in most or all of the yearly contests.

We received a total of 962 photos from 109 participants in the six different categories: Best Picture, Black and White, Cuban Countryside, Hope, Interiors and Intolerance.

After the initial selection process, the jury picked 330 pictures to continue on to the second of the four rounds of selection. Of the initial participants 79 still had at least one of their entries making the first cut.

Now in the second cut the number of photos still competing is reduced to 154 and there are 56 photographers who still have at least one picture in the contest. See the photos below.

We hope you enjoy viewing the pictures and look forward to your comments.

The third cut (finalist) pictures will be published on Monday November 26^th.
