The festival's emblem and award is the Falcó d'Or, an Eleanor Falcon. This species nests in the cliffs of Ibiza and Formentera and reminds us the Maltese Falcon by John Huston. We believe that this is symbolic of freedom.This represents the three facets of the festival:

• Love of the classics
• Interest in nature
• Defense of liberty and creativity
