Andorra's First Unnic Talent Competition Closes Registrations with 15 Participants

The first edition of Unnic Talent, Andorra's inaugural talent competition, has closed registrations with 15 participants lined up across various artistic disciplines.

Organized to spotlight and promote emerging local talent, the event welcomes individual musicians, musical groups, dancers, actors, visual artists, circus performers, aerial dancers, and other creative fields adaptable to its format. All entrants must be Andorran nationals or legal residents, emphasizing a platform for homegrown artists. Organizers reached out to local companies and talent schools to boost involvement, resulting in registrations from students at those centers. Entry was free, requiring a form with personal details, a recent photo, and videos of a presentation and proposed performance.

With inscriptions now finalized after November and December submissions, organizers will conduct an internal pre-selection from the materials received. Selected candidates face in-person auditions on January 12 and 13, 2026. Those who advance will perform in public sessions starting that month, leading to a grand final in the first half of 2026—the exact date to be set based on finalist numbers.

Judging combines votes from a professional panel of artistic and media experts with public digital voting, depending on the stage. Scores will weigh originality, artistic quality, technique, stage presence, and audience connection.

Prizes include €1,500 for first place, €500 for second, and €100 for third. Awards are nominal and non-transferable, paid as gross amounts with winners handling any tax obligations. Portions may come as credits at Unnic, plus potential bookings for season performances.
