The EDP Foundation and Liberbank have signed up as main sponsors for the events to be held during Covadonga’s 2018 Anniversaries. Both entities will contribute up to €200,000 to finance the three commemorations linked to the Royal Site of Covadonga that coincide this year: 1,300 years since the origins of the Kingdom of Asturias, 100 years since the creating of the Montaña de Covadonga National Park and the centenary of the Canonical Coronation of Our Lady of Covadonga.
The Premier of the Principality, Javier Fernández, and the CEO of Liberbank and Chairman of the EDP Foundation, Manuel Menéndez, today signed a partnership agreement for both entities to contribute to backing all the activities envisaged. The fact that centenaries have been declared “events of exceptional public interest” provided tax benefits for cultural patronage.
As stipulated in the document, the EDP Foundation and Liberbank will jointly contribute financially to the following activities, among others:
In turn, the Principality will refer to Liberbank and the EDP Foundation on all the official communications, supports, posters and information panels, as well as on the institutional website, to recognise them as partner entities and main and exclusive partners in their sphere of activity.
Covadonga’s 2018 Anniversaries include a programme of over a hundred activities divided into five core areas: cultural events (66), religious celebrations and sessions (26), sport events (16), institutional acts (10) and tourist promotion (7). The importance of these dates puts the Principality in the spotlight and is an opportunity for the general public to learn more and discover the environmental, cultural, historical and heritage wealth of Asturias.
Luz Minera is the title of the winning project of the second Public Art Ideas Competition, a competition organised by the EDP Foundation.
