From 29th November to 10th January 2014, the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) will be exhibiting the entries submitted to the 4th Painting and Photography Competition at the Palma Military Culture and History Centre. The event has been organised in conjunction with the Palma de Majorca Fine Arts Society.
The competition has received over 300 entries by artists from all the islands. These entries have been divided into three categories: watercolour, other painting techniques and photography. Around one hundred works have been pre-selected and will be exhibited from Friday in the Santa Margarita cloister on the Calle San Miguel de Palma.
The competition awards, which include prize money of over €8,000, will be presented to the winners on Friday evening by the APB Chairman, Alberto Pons, and the Chairman of the Fine Arts Society, Gaspar Sabater.
The exhibition will subsequently be moved to Mahon, and then to San Antonio on the island of Ibiza. Likewise, the idea of exhibiting some of the entries in Alcudia next June is also being studied.
This is the fourth consecutive year that the APB has sponsored this competition on the Balearic Island lighthouses and the public-interest ports of Palma, Alcudia, Mahon, Ibiza and La Savina. The aim of the competition is to reflect the general interest in these everyday yet unique places through art.
