Escaldes-Engordany commune has opened an ideas competition inviting residents over 18 to submit proposals for cultural events aimed at revitalising the parish's historic upper district.
The contest welcomes clear, concise descriptions of activities such as concerts, children's performances, exhibitions, talks, festivals or other initiatives to enhance the area's cultural and social life. Organisers aim to engage locals directly in shaping future projects for this heritage zone.
Open only to individuals, with one entry per person, submissions are available online or in person. Online participants must comment "CULTURA" on the commune's dedicated Instagram post and follow @comuee and @visita_escaldesengordany to receive a form for their details and proposal. Paper forms are available at the Llar de Jubilats or the commune's Tràmits Service.
A jury will assess entries on originality, cultural and social merit, suitability to the parish setting, and ability to promote community engagement. Entrants must also complete a brief questionnaire on local awareness of current historic district projects, helping officials evaluate policy impact and resident knowledge.
Winning proposals will receive tickets to the Van Gogh Alive exhibition. The initiative underscores efforts to foster active citizenship and integrate public input into revitalisation plans.
