A contest to remember

The Commonwealth of the Alcoyano and the County has launched a call to creativity with its first edition of the Contest of Dissemination of Historical and Democratic Memory. This initiative seeks not only to preserve, but also to celebrate the rich recent history of Spain, focusing on the period from the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera to the democratic transition.

Categories and modalities of participation

The competition is designed to host the participation of all the municipalities that are part of the Commonwealth, with the aim of encouraging the active involvement of the community. Participants will be able to compete in two categories: one for high school and high school students, and the other open to the general public.

Prizes and recognitions

The works presented can qualify for two prize modalities: the ‘Francesc Jover’, which recognizes the historical essay or literary creation, and the ‘Les Rapades’, which rewards audiovisual projects and plastic works. Each prize has an endowment of 600 euros.

Theme and work requirements

The work must explore how this historical period was experienced in the counties of Alcoyano and the county, with a special approach to its local repercussions. In addition, the works must be original, written in Valencian, and sent through the Electronic Office of the Commonwealth.

Fostering identity and democracy

With this competition, it is intended to recover historical memory through literature, visual art and audiovisual formats, with the aim of strengthening collective identity and the importance of democracy in today’s society.

Jury and dissemination of the winners

A jury made up of experts in the academic, cultural and historical fields will evaluate the works presented. The winning creations will be spread through the institutional platforms of the Commonwealth and may be presented at various cultural and educational events in the region.

Key dates and additional information

The deadline for submitting the work will be completed on July 15, 2025, and the winners will be announced in September of the same year. All the information needed to participate can be consulted through the following link.
