New Initiative to Showcase Youth Talent in Baja California Sur

Promoting Artistic Expression

The Instituto Sudcaliforniano de Cultura (ISC), in collaboration with the Secretariat of Public Education and various high school education subsystems, has announced the state-wide competition “Interprepa Nuevos Talentos en el Arte 2026.” This initiative is aimed at high school students from all five municipalities in Baja California Sur. The competition seeks to provide a platform for young artists to express themselves and gain recognition for their talents.

The ISC's General Director, Víctor Hugo Caballero Gutiérrez, emphasized the importance of this initiative in fostering creativity and community identity among students. He stated,

"This initiative aims to provide spaces for the expression and recognition of youth talent, as well as to promote art as a tool to boost creativity, identity, and a sense of community in educational institutions."

Competition Details

The competition will feature two main disciplines: dance and singing, with categories for both solo and group performances. Awards will be distributed by municipality, with specific prizes allocated for each category. In dance, two prizes of 2,500 pesos will be awarded for solo performances, and two prizes of 4,500 pesos for group performances.
