"Draw your Christmas with the port" is a school drawing competition for Christmas cards aimed at children between 3 and 12 years old, promoting their creativity and bringing them closer to the port reality. This contest, organized by PortCastelló, is sponsored by Fundación PortCastelló and the Kidom children's leisure park.
Individual Prizes by Category and a Collective Prize for Participation
The contest establishes three categories: infant, primary (1st to 3rd grade), and primary (4th to 6th grade). Prizes will consist of a bicycle for each winner in their respective categories, plus 2 tickets for each winner to the KIDOM children's leisure park.
Additionally, the Port Authority of Castellón will grant an extraordinary mention to the class with the highest student participation, awarding them a free day of access to the Kidom children's leisure park for all students in that class.
The winning designs from each category will be used to create the Christmas card with which the Port Authority of Castellón will send holiday greetings to the port community, institutions, media, and society in general.
