Sagunto launches new round of 'Més que idees' for young creators
Sagunto City Council is accepting applications until 30 October for Més que idees 2027, a programme that provides spaces, technical guidance and exposure for people aged 12 to 30 with cultural or artistic projects.
For a teenager or young adult in Sagunto with a half-recorded demo, an unrehearsed play or a podcast that never quite gets off the ground, the lack of space and equipment is often the first hurdle. Sagunto's Youth and Childhood Department (Concejalía de Juventud e Infancia) is trying to fix exactly that with a new round of Més que idees ('More than ideas'), a support scheme for youth cultural creation now in its 2027 edition, open for applications until 30 October.
Residents aged between 12 and 30 can apply, either alone or as a group, and the level of the project, from a hobby to something with professional ambitions, is not a barrier to entry. The scheme runs along two complementary tracks. Anyone with nothing set up yet can apply to the Incubadora creativa ('creative incubator'), designed to start from zero: use of rehearsal or preparation rooms, technical advice, and access to artist residencies or spaces for audiovisual, theatre or podcast recording. Anyone who already has a project underway and just needs a stage can instead turn to Mostrart al Casal ('showcase it at the youth centre'), which offers live performances, meet-the-audience events, exhibitions, use of municipal spaces, a slot in the programme of the youth centres (casales), and technical support during the project itself.
The range of eligible disciplines is broad: music, dance, graphic design, urban art, theatre, social-media and multimedia content, or podcasts, among others. The one exception is purely exhibition-based projects, which are left out of this round because the department is preparing a separate grant line specifically for the municipal exhibition halls, due to launch in the coming months.
Beyond the one-off support itself, the real value of the scheme for families across the Camp de Morvedre district lies in access: rehearsal rooms, recording equipment or exhibition spaces that would be expensive to rent independently become available free of charge to those who sign up. In practice, it is a way for an artistic project to move out of a bedroom or garage and reach a real audience before its creators even consider going professional.
Those wishing to apply must send the registration form, together with the documents required under the rules, available at www.saguntjove.es, to dina@aytosagunto.es before the deadline closes on 30 October. According to El Periódico de Aquí.
