The event, which had the collaboration of the Rafael Botí Foundation and the Casino Gran Madrid, attracted 50 artists who captured the streets, squares, and corners of the municipality.
After registration at the Casa de Cultura, participants began creating their works. Of the 50 works presented, a specialized jury selected 19 finalists before awarding the main prizes.
“"The jury deliberated on the results of the submitted works."
