Marbella Opens Registration for 13th Creative Youth Talent Show
Marbella has announced the opening of registration for its 13th Muestra Joven de Talentos Creativos, a creative youth talent show. The deadline for interested applicants is set for 22 May. The cultural initiative is designed to inspire the town’s youth to showcase their creativity. This year, the town hall has expanded its list of suggested formats to include haikus, song lyrics, and social media posts.
Age Limit Extended for Participants
The age limit for participants has been increased from 25 to 30 years old, a change from previous years. Alejandro González, Marbella’s councillor for young people, noted that the initiative has previously paved the way for many Marbella residents to pursue professional careers, even on a national scale. The town hall is keen to promote the ideas and cultural projects of this group across various disciplines.
Submission Categories and Prizes
González explained that entries can be submitted in several categories. These include creative writing, which now welcomes formats like haikus, song lyrics, and social media posts; graphic arts, encompassing drawing, photography, sculpture, posters, marketing, brand creation, and audiovisual projects; musical and performing arts, which will be combined into one category this year; and visual arts, which will feature video clips, reels, or TikTok content. The first, second, and third prizes in each category will be 1,000 euros, 500 euros, and 300 euros, respectively.
Judging Process and Re-entry Rules
Once the registration period ends, a jury of experts will begin the judging process, culminating in a grand finale gala after the summer. Previous first-prize winners are allowed to re-enter the competition, but they will not be eligible for the top award in the same category. However, they can still vie for the first prize by submitting an entry in a different category.
