The Xunta de Galicia granted the first and second prizes in the videocreation category of Xuventude Crea 2026 to the projects A pel do río, by Alba Amoedo (from Lama), and Faro, by Mario Fernández (from O Carballiño). The third distinction went to Baixo as pálpebras, also by Mario Fernández (from A Illa de Arousa).
The project A pel do río, an experimental audiovisual piece constructing a dual identity between a female body and the flow of water, received the highest recognition for its creativity and sound design. Faro, a poetic-documentary approach to the pilgrimage to Monte Faro, won the second prize, while Baixo as pálpebras explored insomnia through audiovisual language.
In this seventeenth edition, an Honorable Mention was also awarded to José García Estévez and Isabella Moreno Rueda for the creation Persistencia do baleiro. The videocreation category is one of the 15 specialties of Xuventude Crea 2026, which this year had nearly five hundred registrations.
The contest, now in its seventeenth edition, is a well-established program in the Galician cultural and artistic scene, having involved nearly 6,000 young people, with 4,000 creative works and projects, and distributing around 700 prizes totaling over one million euros.
