The finalists for our Barca Starta competition, taking place in Barcelona on 26 February, have been selected. We were aiming to whittle down almost 50 entries to 20 finalists. In the event, we got down to 27 before deciding we could not decide further between them, so the judges’ task in choosing the winner will be even more difficult than we envisaged.
