This festival-competition is open to 👨‍🎨 artists of all ages and drawing techniques.

Spain, Lloret de Mar

Take part in the exciting Moment of Art quick drawing competition! We invite artists to a unique creative event on the spectacular coast of the Costa Brava. The competition offers participants a quick and intense opportunity to capture the beauty of the Costa Brava on their canvas. Participants can choose from picturesque rocky cliffs, coves, beaches, woodlands, or architectural structures for their work.
After the contestants’ work, a jury evaluates the entries and selects the winners. During their free time, participants can interact with other creative people, attend workshops and enjoy the beauty of the Costa Brava.

You only have 1 day to complete the contest work! We will stamp your A3 canvas and show you scenic locations for plein air painting. You will be inspired by the beauty of nature and present your work in front of an international jury.

For many artists, the visual arts competition is a unique opportunity to be inspired by the beauty of the Mediterranean and to present their artwork for an international audience. Therefore, finding sponsors who can support young talents might be a great option to make this dream come true.

The exchange of experience among creative people always creates strong relationships for years. Competitive artworks are evaluated by a professional international jury according to expert evaluation criteria.

Example of a Fiestalonia festival invitation letter

Costa Brava is the northernmost Mediterranean coast of Spain. In fact, absolutely everything is provided here for a full-fledged creative realization. Mountains covered with pine forests descend to the sea, charming coves with secluded beaches interspersed with picturesque rocky cliffs.
In cozy bays along the Costa Brava coast are located numerous resort towns that provide everything for a good rest.

On your wish we can organize a trip to Tossa de Mar, a small and typically Spanish town with narrow picturesque streets, cozy cathedral square, nestled in a cozy rocky bay surrounded by beaches, cliffs, caves. A majestic medieval fortress towers over the central beach, guarding in the past the Spanish coast from pirate ships.

The Municipal Museum of Tossa that is located in the fortress exhibits the artworks of many artists who had spent their vacations here. Tossa de Mar is a town of romantics, artists and poets. Tourists from all over Europe are attracted by the tranquility and beauty of this place.

This contest gives young artists a sense of creative realization, a great vacation time on the beaches of the Costa Brava and a wonderful excursion program that will make your trip enjoyable.

This contest is recommended to visit with the whole family, a whole class or an entire course, as it favors family and group vacations. At this contest we are glad to see not only participants, but also their friends! It is possible to organize different creative master classes.

Here in Spain the most cherished dreams of the participants come true! After all, our international contest is an opportunity to meet old friends and find new ones, to have great relaxation, to have leisure in the gentle Mediterranean Sea and show the people your achievements in the world of art!

This international fine arts contest gives you the opportunity to become winners of a prestigious international competition. It is combined with a great vacation on the beaches of the Costa Brava and a wonderful excursion program that will make your stay especially enjoyable and fill you with creative energy.

We recommend attending this international festival-competition with a whole family, friends or schoolmates. We are always happy to see not only the participants, but also their support groups at our festival-competition!
