The jury of this new edition will be made up of people of recognized professional, intellectual and artistic prestige on the international scene, and with ties to the city of Estepona, who will select the 10 finalists (5 female and 5 male voices).

The 10 finalists will perform at the Final Gala, which is scheduled for July 22, 2022 and will be held at the Felipe VI Auditorium.

Once the actions are finished, the jury's decision will be announced and the 'Estepona CREA 2022' awards will be awarded to the two winners of the contest.

The 'Estepona CREA' Contest was launched in 2015 with the aim of promoting and encouraging culture and art among the young people of the city. On an annual basis, in each edition artists from different artistic disciplines have been awarded. Thus, the first year was dedicated to painting and dance; in 2016 the modalities of music and literature were awarded; in 2017 it was the turn of theater and photography; while in 2018 new talents in audiovisual creation and sculpture were recognized.

In 2019 special editions were held for the little ones, so 'Estepona Crea KIDS' was awarded for dance and voice. The last edition was held recently and awarded the best composition for symphonic band. In this way, the City Council paid tribute to the Municipal Music Band for its 80th anniversary.
