The Isla Bonita Moda Talent Awards 'Made In La Palma' were born in 2024 as part of the new strategic plan of action of the island programme Isla Bonita Moda, promoted by the Cabildo Insular de La Palma through Sodepal. These awards aim to promote 'Moda Made in La Palma' and are an open invitation to all professionals in the creative field of fashion on the island, offering them a platform to celebrate local talent. They are also a unique opportunity for the future of the sector on the island, opening new doors for its development and projection.

With the aim of building a strong fashion community on the island, these awards encourage the training and development of local talent. They boost the creation of creative synergies and open up new opportunities for the growth of the local economy, employment and investment in the fashion sector on La Palma. They also reinforce the presence and participation of our talents on the island, while boosting their projection in an increasingly competitive global market.

In this new edition, the Isla Bonita Moda Awards introduce some new features, expanding the number of categories and, for the first time, presenting the 'Sustainable Fashion Project' award, with the aim of promoting creativity and environmental awareness in the sector in parallel. This category will be aimed at fashion brands from La Palma associated with the Isla Bonita Moda project, as well as those that are part of friendly projects such as Gran Canaria Moda Cálida, Lanzarote Moda, Tenerife Moda and Adlib Ibiza, who will also have the opportunity to participate in this initiative.

The categories in which talents will be able to participate in this edition include:

• Fashion Brand
• Photography and Catwalk Model
• Make-up Professionals
• Hairdressing Professionals
• Fashion Photography and Audiovisual Creation
• Content Creator
• New Talent, in collaboration with the Manolo Blahnik Art School
• Sustainable Fashion Project

In addition, the 'Made in La Palma' Honorary Talent Award, a special prize awarded outside of the competition, will once again be presented.

In the words of Miriam Perestelo, Councillor for Economic Promotion of the Island Council of La Palma, "The Isla Bonita Moda Talent Awards 'Made in La Palma' are a key initiative to boost the local economy and strengthen the fashion sector on our island. These awards not only celebrate the creative talent we have on La Palma, but also promote training, innovation and sustainability within a sector that is becoming increasingly important for our island".

Miriam Perestelo also argues that "it is essential that we support our designers, creators, artisans and other professionals in the field of fashion, offering them opportunities to showcase their work and develop in such a competitive market. From the Cabildo, through Sodepal, we remain committed to creating synergies between all the actors in the sector, promoting a welcoming space full of opportunities where local creativity can flourish and be projected beyond our borders. This type of initiative not only contributes to the economic growth of the island, but also reinforces our identity as a benchmark in the field of signature fashion. We are very excited about the celebration of this second edition and, on behalf of all of us who make Isla Bonita Moda, I invite all the island's talents to participate in this new edition".
