In Baiona, the local government has launched the fourth edition of its Christmas decoration contest.

Selected decorations will be displayed in the streets of Baiona from late November through early January.

Meanwhile, the City Council of León has announced a contest to select the official advertising poster for the 2026 Christmas festivities. The competition is open to artists, graphic designers, illustrators, and photographers of all nationalities. The winning entry will receive a primary prize of 1,250€, with additional smaller prizes for runners-up. Submissions must be original works that capture the festive spirit and tradition of León.
