A total of 67 entries are competing for the 2025 Mallorca Craft Awards organised by the Consell de Mallorca. The awards ceremony will be held on October 29 at Es Baluard Museum and will feature a jury made up of master artisans and professionals linked to the craft sector.
Antònia Roca, Vice President of the Consell de Mallorca and Councillor for Culture and Heritage, welcomed the large number of professionals from the island who registered for the awards during July, making this the second most participative edition in the history of the event.
This year, the awards are further consolidated with a record prize fund, twelve categories, and a high-level jury made up of master artisans and leading figures from the sector. The panel will evaluate aspects such as technique, sustainability, creativity, design, and respect for tradition.
The category with the highest number of entries is the Mallorca Craft Award, followed by the Traditional Craft Award and the Craft Design and Innovation Award. Roca also highlighted a record number of entries in the Impulso Award, aimed at students: “This award serves as an entry point for new talent and aims to encourage generational renewal within the craft sector of Mallorca.”

67 Entries Compete for the 2025 Mallorca Craft Awards
Another key innovation in this edition is the division of the Gastronomy Craft Award into two distinct prizes: Short Shelf Life and Long Shelf Life. Both recognise traditional Mallorcan recipes, differentiated by the shelf life of the products, and highlight their quality and authenticity.
“These figures confirm the Mallorca Craft Awards as a key event for the sector. The growing interest each year, especially among young people, demonstrates that Mallorcan crafts have a bright future and that the Consell’s commitment to giving them visibility and support is yielding results,” said the Vice President and Councillor.
With these 67 entries, the last three editions of the Mallorca Craft Awards have attracted a total of 222 submissions, a figure that reflects the sector’s positive reception and growing dynamism. The jury, made up of highly regarded professionals, has already begun the evaluation process. The winners will be announced during the ceremony on October 29.
