Galmés and Roca have highlighted the quality of the works presented and the good reception of the initiative: ‘The “Per Nadal, Neules” contest has been very successful among the young people, who, creatively, with scissors and paper, and with a lot of patience, skill and originality, have presented wonderful works that have made the jury’s task of selecting the winners of this first edition of the contest very difficult’.
The Consell de Mallorca aims to promote all activities that bring the island’s cultural heritage closer to young people, especially now that the neules are officially protected after months of work.
