School Christmas drawing contests announced in Spain

Two separate Christmas drawing competitions have been announced for primary school students in Spain.

The Hermandad del Prendimiento has launched the 17th edition of its “Pon Color a la Navidad” contest. Aimed at students in the second and third cycles of Primary Education, the initiative seeks to encourage artistic creativity. Submissions are accepted until December 1, with an awards ceremony scheduled for December 10 at the Museo de Semana Santa. The event is supported by Editorial Edelvives, Caja Rural Central, and Regalos Clase.

In Tui, the Department of Education, Culture, and Youth has called for a school drawing contest to select the municipality’s official Christmas postcard. The competition is open to all primary school students in Tui, whether in public or subsidized schools. Participants must create an original work themed “Christmas in Tui,” which must include a reference to the Cathedral to commemorate the 800th anniversary of its consecration. The deadline for submissions is November 27, 2026.
