Musician Pau Culleré, originally from Balaguer, has been crowned the winner of the first edition of the emerging Catalan music contest Alenada, organized by Ràdio Televisió Cardedeu.

The contest, supported by La Xarxa, awards the winner a prize of 5,000 euros gross, an artistic residency at the Can Bonamic Creation Centre in Sant Esteve de Palautordera, and a performance at the Tastautors 2027 festival.
The final gala, broadcast by the 35 local televisions of Catalonia and La Xarxa+, featured ten artists selected from numerous submissions. A jury had previously chosen 40 participants for the preliminary stages of the competition.
Following live performances, an initial public vote determined the five finalists: Pau Culleré, Marcòlica, Paula Milara, eye tana, and Maya Martínez. In a second round of voting, with scores reset, Culleré was declared the winner.

Marcòlica secured the second position, followed by Paula Milara, while Maya Martínez and eye tana completed the final standings.
