XX Premis Rei En Jaume 2022

Coinciding with the Festes del rei En Jaume de Santa Ponça, the Ajuntament de Calvià recovered in 2018 one of the most recognized contests of the cultural panorama of the Balearic Islands: the Premis Rei En Jaume de Fotografia. They were created in 1971 under the name of Calvià Awards and, after different stages in which it was linked to the Fiesta de Desembarco, it stopped being convened in 2012.

The objective of recovering these awards is to stimulate artistic creation and make the city known from various aspects: the historical, the playful, the geographical, the natural, etc.

In 2020, two more categories were added to the existing Photography category: Comic and Theater. Another novelty was the possibility of presenting themselves , always with written authorization from their legal guardians.
 
The chosen theme in 2022 is Calvià is culture: symbols, values, customs, artistic expressions, traditions, celebrations and cultural events of the municipality.

The deadline for the presentation of the works in the Comic and Photography categories is from June 6 to 16, 2022. For the Theater category from June 27 to July 7.

The endowments are as follows:

Premi Rei En Jaume de Cómic: € 1,200 + publication of the work + 100 copies for the author

Premi Rei En Jaume de Fotografía: € 1,000 + exhibition at Calvià Town Hall

Premi Rei En Jaume theater: € 3,000 + theatrical residence + premiere with box office for the company

The jury will assess the presence of ecological values, environmental respect, sustainability or recycling visually or argumentatively in the projects presented.

The last week of August will be the opening of the exhibition and awards ceremony within the program of activities of les Festes del rei En Jaume 2022.
