This groups or individual artists who have submitted to the contest have had to register, write a report explaining and send a demo of his work.

The piece presented could be about any topic, but has been taken into account in selecting those who have shown a special link with the history and culture of Murcia, from the historical perspective and from the concept and philosophy of art, design and environment that articulates the new park.

During this week met in Murcia a prestigious international jury, composed of Barañano Kosme (Director of the Department of Methodology of the History of Art and Sculpture, Faculty of Fine Arts in Altea at the University Miguel Hernández Elche), FCG (artist), Petra Joos (Director of the Department of Museum Activities Guggenheim Museum Bilbao), John Keenen (architect drafter Park Master Plan Levante Murcia), Terry Riley (Editor architect Master Plan Parque de Levante in Murcia) and Joel Shapiro (artist).

Participants have complete freedom to use for the design and execution of the sculptures, the techniques and materials they considered most suitable to your requirements expressive, provided they were resistant to the action of atmospheric agents to ensure durability of the works .

The sculptures will be exempt and because their destination is an open space, the jury took into account the proportional relationship of their actions with the environment.
