Barcelona City Council

On 5 March 2024, the councillor for the Sants-Montjuïc district, exercising the powers delegated by the Mayor’s Office on 17 June 2023, initially approved the terms and conditions for the 26^th edition of the Festa Major Poster Competition for the Poble Sec neighbourhood in the Sants-Montjuïc district (2024). 

In compliance with the provisions of Article 124.2 of Decree 179/1995, dated 13 June 1995, enacting the Regulation on Local Authority Works, Activities and Services, the above-mentioned terms and conditions are subject to public scrutiny for a period of twenty working days, starting on the day after the notice is published, so that interested parties may examine the document and, if necessary, make any objections they deem appropriate. 

If no objections are submitted during the public scrutiny period, the terms and conditions will be deemed to be definitively approved.

The aim of this competition is to promote artistic creation and encourage the participation of professional and emerging artists, in order to achieve wide-ranging local participation and to spread the word about the Poble Sec neighbourhood’s festa major, or main annual festival.

The winning design will receive a prize and will be used on the poster and the printed programme, without prejudice to the use of other publicity materials.

Participation is open to both professionals and emerging artists of any age and background, though if the entrant is a minor, they must provide the details of a guardian, in addition to their own. Submissions must be made online only.

Specifically, entries must be emailed to premissantsmontjuic@bcn.cat. Include “CONCURS CARTELLS FM POBLE-SEC” in the email subject line.

Participants may submit a maximum of three posters.

The submission period is open from 2 May to 23 May 2024. 

The results of the competition will be announced in June 2024.
