The selection committee for the 2012 Competition is chaired by the director EXPLUM FESTIVAL Cayuela Michelangelo Lopez, and has national and international artists such as Ivan Lopez Munuera, independent curator and critic (Spain), Emiliano Valdés, curator (Guatemala) and the Mexican artist Anibal Catalan

The Municipality of Puerto Lumbreras bases closed registration for the International Competition of Contemporary Art "Explum" with over 700 entries of works and projects both nationally and internationally.

The Mayor of the town, Pedro Antonio Sanchez, explained that "this new edition of 2012 nearly doubled the number of entries received from last year."

Sanchez has also explained that "this year's Art Competition EXPLUM FESTIVAL will focus on recent national and international artistic behaviors of young artists."

In this sense, the new edition of the event will feature individual and collective works, without limitation methods, techniques and characteristics of the works.

The only requirement imposed in the contest works is that the entrant must be made between 2010 and 2011.

Thus, after the enrollment of more than 700 works, the new selection committee is working to set up the shows that will eventually offer the ninth edition of the event to be held late next March.

Thus in 2012 the Selection Committee is chaired by Miguel Angel Cayuela Lopez, director of "Explum" and has national and international artists such as Ivan Lopez Munuera, independent curator and critic (Spain), Emiliano Valdés, curator (Guatemala); and the Mexican artist Anibal Catalan.

The committee will select the works presented, based on the projected line of "Explum".

The finally selected works form the exhibition Explum Contest 2012, and the failure of the selection committee will be released from February 28, 2012 in www.explum.com.

In conclusion, the Mayor of Puerto Lumbreras, said "in recent years the International Competition Explum has become one of the meetings of pop art with the greatest impact within and outside the Region of Murcia".
