The Benicàssim City Council has opened the call for the new edition of the Benicàssim.Pop Al Carrer music contest, an initiative aimed at promoting projects by artists and bands linked to the municipality.

The deadline for submitting applications is August 2, 2026. Both soloists and groups with a connection to the town—whether through residence, owning a business, or working there—are eligible to participate.
The main novelty this year is the creation of the Emerging Group category, designed for artists between 15 and 25 years old. Interested parties must submit their proposals via email, including the specific contest reference in the subject line.
The jury will select five proposals, each receiving a 1,000 euro remuneration for their performance. The final gala will take place on Saturday, September 12, serving as a showcase for local music and a platform to highlight new talent.
