You have all sent us a ton of photos to enter in the drawing for a Canon camera--130 in all! We have created a curious and beautiful collection; thanks to everyone who participated and everyone who helps spread the Basque culture around the world! Maitena Etcheverry, from La Plata, Argentina, is the winner. Congratulations and enjoy it!

Donostia-San Sebastian.  In Maitena’s photo we can see three txistularis and a danbolinero in the Moreno Plaza in La Plata with the cathedral in the background.  We can also see Bixente and Maruxa Ibarguren.  Bixente was born in Bergara, Gipuzkoa, and has been an active reference and collaborator in the Euzko Etxea Basque club in La Plata for more than fifty years.

Following is a slide show of all of the photos that were entered in the contest:

All are very beautiful and curious, but six in particular caught our attention.  Good work, Cassy, Iñaki, Roberto, Pedro, Elisa and Alejandro! 

Boiseko dantzariak

[Boise dancers dancing the Ikurriña dantza.  From Cassy Kelly.  We like the framing and the movement of the Ikurriña]

 1981 NECO SNV007

[Iñaki Perurena at the first National Basque Week in Necochea Argentina in 1981.  From Iñaki Agostini Zubillaga.  This photo is “retro”, pretty and curious}

 Itsasoari zortziko

[A “Zortziko” to the sea.  Roberto Awa Nari.  A truly curious and original photo of a euskaltzale from the Amazon arriving in Bizkaia]

Levantamiento de piedra

[Lifting the stone.  Pedro de Aguirre.  A photo that made us all smile]

La Vasconia okindegia

[Bakery La Vasconia.  Elisa Ortiz.  The motto is great: Basque while being Mexican.  Mexican while being Basque]

Euskal dantzak Argentinan

[Dancers in Argentina. Alejandro Lamayer.  Beautiful photo, framed and composed of Basque symbols and colors]

And which were your favorites?
