The 6th “Rossana Molinatti” Photography Competition was held during the 26th edition of the European Biennial of Blacksmith Art in Stia. It was open to all—photography professionals and enthusiasts—regardless of age or nationality.

The theme chosen for this edition, “Traces of Fire, Artistic Shots“, inspired the 25 participants to express the strength, creativity, and beauty of wrought iron through images. Each photographer was able to submit up to five shots, taken during the Biennial (September 4–7, 2025).

The works will be judged by a jury composed of FIAF President Roberto Rossi, members of the W. Soldani Photographic Association of Bibbiena, and a representative of the Autonomous Association of the European Biennial of Blacksmith Art in Stia. Judging criteria will take into account the ability to interpret the theme, creativity, and technical quality of the images.

The three winners will each receive a wrought iron work, crafted by master craftsmen.
The awards ceremony will be held during the Vinolio Novo event, scheduled for November 15 and 16, 2025, at the Lanificio di Stia.
