Various municipalities and organizations across Spain have launched initiatives for the upcoming holiday season. In Granada, the City Council has opened registration for children aged nine to 17 to participate in the 2027 Three Kings Parade culture float. Additionally, the Provincial Council of Granada is hosting the III Provincial Nativity Scene Contest for municipalities with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants, offering 3,000 euros in total prizes to promote local traditions and artistic skills.

In Cádiz, the municipal nativity scene contest has been expanded to include local businesses, with the total prize pool increased to 9,000 euros. Talavera de la Reina is also promoting holiday engagement through decoration contests for storefronts and facades, offering prizes up to 1,500 euros, alongside a letter-writing contest for students.

Other regional activities include a nativity scene competition in Segovia, which has reached its 36th edition, and a culinary competition in Sopela. Furthermore, the Fundación Eurocaja Rural has launched the ‘Tiempo de Navidad’ initiative, inviting non-profit entities across Spain to participate in artistic and musical contests designed to foster inclusion for people with disabilities.
