The deadline for submitting applications begins the day after the publication of the extract in the BOP and will end at 15:00 hours on 30 September 2026.

Processing and resolution

The Assessment Committee, made up of María Canedo Barreiro, Tourism and Culture technician; Andrea Rodríguez Lorenzo, cultural coordinator; and Belén Cabeza Bello, assistant at the Youth Information Office, will propose the granting after applying the criteria.
