According to the proposal, any person or group of persons may compete for the 1st Jaume Soler Prize with a work related to the history and cultural heritage of Vila Joiosa or the Marina Baixa region, provided that Vila Joiosa plays a relevant role in such research. The work will deal with any aspect related to this heritage, whether tangible, intangible or immovable, as well as its enhancement and public cultural, educational, tourist and any other aspect that implies a contribution to local development in the broadest sense. The deadline for submission is 28 September 2023. The prize will be 2,500 euros. La Vila Joiosa Town Council reserves the right to publish the winning work. The Jury will be made up of people of recognised professional competence in the field, and it is estimated that it will issue its decision before 15 November, and that the 1st Prize will be awarded in a public ceremony during the month of December 2023, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the start-up of the Casa de la Cultura and the creation of the Municipal Museum.
Once approved by the Local Government Board, the call will be published in the Official Gazette of the province of Alicante through the National Grants Database, and the announcement with the rules on the notice board of the Town Hall and on the municipal website (www.villajoyosa.com), where the deadlines and characteristics of the works to be presented will be specified.
