Andorra has announced its initial shortlist of young artists for the cultural competitions at the 10th Francophonie Games, set for Yerevan, Armenia, from 23 July to 1 August 2027.

The Andorra National Agency (ANA) has named candidates across seven artistic disciplines, though final selection will depend on an official national process managed by relevant authorities. Nicolás Vega, performing as Makuka, leads the song category, while Andrea Sánchez represents digital creation. Dance features Aina Sánchez and Xavier Pérez, and Laia Córdoba is shortlisted for literature.

The group is rounded out by Ona Saumell in painting, Oscar Pichel in photography, and Emma Regada in sculpture. All remain provisional picks for the event, which will blend 10 sports disciplines with 10 cultural contests over 10 days.

Organisers emphasise values of respect, inclusion, and friendship for this edition in the Armenian capital. Participation requires formal national approval, with each country's authorities handling candidacy procedures.
