The Tui contest registered unprecedented participation with over 80 registered individuals of all ages, surpassing previous editions' records. The quality of the submitted works, created over eight hours yesterday, Sunday, reflects the contest's growth.
Artists employing diverse techniques and styles focused their gaze on emblematic sites in Tui, such as the La Corredoira promenade, Inmaculada square, Rúa das Monxas, the River Walk, the Cathedral, and the International Bridge, capturing their vision in their creations.
Jorge Morais Valle was the winner of this eleventh edition with his artwork depicting the historic complex of Tui and the Miño River. The first prize includes 1000 euros, a menu for two at La de Manu, and a service from Blackbird Barber Concept.
Subsequent prizes were awarded to Juan Carlos Triñanes Buceta (second prize, 700€), Eduardo Pérez Baamonde (third prize, 500€), Manuel Carballeira Riva (fourth prize, 300€), Isabel Seidel (fifth prize, 200€), and Abel Barandela Fernández (sixth prize, 100€), along with gifts from local businesses.
In the youth category, Ángela Martín Bragado took first prize, followed by Lukas Pérez Ramilo and Mía Durán Rodríguez. In the children's category, Ethan Pérez Ramilo was the winner, with Lois Tomé Barcia, Eva Corbillón Ferrol, Paola Sánchez Puga, and Uxía Pérez Alonso receiving subsequent awards.
The award ceremony took place at the Espazo Sociocultural, where the mayor, Enrique Cabaleiro, along with councilwomen Ana Núñez and Sonsoles Vicente, congratulated the participants and reaffirmed the council's commitment to art.
The works submitted to the XI Pinta Tui Contest will be exhibited soon in the Municipal Hall of the Francisco Sánchez building; dates will be announced later.
