Azores Combo is launching the 2nd edition of its International Contest 'Azores Combo Art Camp' organised by us, Mala Cooperativa Cultural CRL. 

The contest's goal is to promote young people's creativity through combining traditional techniques with contemporary innovation. The pieces created can be personal creations or reinterpretations of traditional wicker pieces.

Azores Combo believes in young people's imagination and creativity to impulse a new dynamic and modernise this tradition.
