Oviedo releases the video that opened its presentation to the European Capital of Culture 2031 jury

The Oviedo candidacy returned to Oviedo yesterday after presenting its project to the jury in Madrid. Today Toledo was the last city to present its bid, bringing the round of presentations to a close. Now all that remains is to wait for the verdict, which will be announced tomorrow.

In the meantime, the candidacy has shared on social media and on its website the video that opened yesterday’s presentation to the jury. The audiovisual piece served as an introduction to the territory. It opened the intervention of the Principality of Asturias team, setting the tone for the presentation and placing the jury within the cultural, social and territorial context that underpins the bid. Through images of heritage, nature, contemporary creation and cultural life, the piece offers a portrait of Asturias.

It is no coincidence that this same piece has become the opening video on the official website of the candidacy. In a way, it will act as the digital gateway to the project: a way of welcoming those who want to discover what Oviedo is proposing for Europe in 2031.

With all candidate cities having now presented their projects, all that remains is to wait for the jury’s decision. In the meantime, this video captures in just a few minutes the essence of a candidacy built on territory, collaboration and culture as a driver of transformation.

Now you can watch the video that opened Oviedo’s presentation in Madrid.
