The Concello de Betanzos has announced a new edition of its Christmas poster competition, aimed at students from early childhood and primary education, as well as those with functional diversity in local schools. This initiative seeks to encourage creativity and participation among young people during the festive season.
Participants are required to create posters with a Christmas theme, using a 40 x 30 centimetre card and any artistic technique of their choice. The posters must be in Galician, the co-official language of the region.
Participation can be individual or in groups of up to three students per entry. Each participant is allowed to submit one poster, which should include the author's name, their class, and the name of their educational institution in the bottom right corner.
Submission details
Posters must be submitted by Tuesday, 24 November 2026, to the respective schools attended by the participants.
Awards and exhibition
A jury, consisting of the mayor of Betanzos or their delegate and representatives from the participating schools, will select a first prize winner and may award additional prizes, which will consist of educational materials. The winning artwork will serve as the official image for the 44th Christmas and New Year Festivities Programme of the Concello de Betanzos.
Additionally, all submitted works will be displayed at the Archivo building from 2 December 2026 to 9 January 2027. After the exhibition concludes, the posters will be returned to the respective schools for collection by their creators.
This competition encourages the students of Betanzos to take an active role in the Christmas celebrations through their imagination and creativity.
