One of the most outstanding novelties of this edition is the increase in the economic endowment for the acquisition of the work of the “Outstanding Artist”. The prize, which increases from 3,000 to 5,500 euros, will be awarded by a professional jury and the selected piece will become part of the municipal funds.
