An exciting event is coming up in the beautiful lands of La Fregeneda! The Association for the Development of Western Salamanca (ADEZOS), the City Council of La Fregeneda and the Diputación de Salamanca are pleased to announce the IV Certamen de Pintura Al Aire Libre ‘Almendros Vivos’.

This vibrant contest will take place on Sunday, March 3, coinciding with the traditional celebration of the Almond Tree Festival. What better time to be inspired by nature and capture the ephemeral beauty of the almond blossoms that adorn our landscape?

The painting technique will be totally free, giving participants the freedom to express themselves through their brushes and colors. The theme will revolve around the unique landscape of the area and its majestic almond trees in full bloom. A perfect opportunity to immortalize the essence of La Fregeneda in your artwork!

Who can participate? Everyone is welcome to join this creative celebration! From amateur to professional artists, everyone can participate upon registration, which is completely free of charge. Registration is open to anyone interested in capturing the beauty of the almond trees and the local landscape.

The competition will have a single category for participants from 16 years of age and older. In addition, exciting prizes are established for the winners: a first prize of 500 euros, a second prize of 300 euros and a third prize of 200 euros. A well-deserved reward for your talent and creativity!

This painting contest is not only an opportunity to celebrate art, but also forms part of the Almendros Vivos project, which seeks to promote rural development in the region of Salamanca. The almond tree, in addition to its beauty, plays a crucial role as an oxygen producer and CO2 sink, highlighting its importance for the environment and the local economy.
