Ibiza Town is inviting residents and local businesses to bring Christmas colour and creativity to its streets through the second edition of the Christmas Decoration Competition 2026. Organised by the Ayuntamiento de Eivissa, the free competition will reward the best festive displays across private homes and commercial premises, with prizes including a night at the Parador de Ibiza, dining experiences and baskets of local products.
Registrations are open until 14 December 2026. Participants must ensure their decorations are fully installed and visible from the street by the same deadline.
The initiative aims to encourage local participation and create a festive atmosphere throughout the municipality during the Christmas season.
Two Categories for Homes and Businesses
The competition is divided into two categories, allowing both residents and commercial establishments to participate.
Category A: Private homes
This category is open to decorations on balconies, windows and façades of private residences, provided they are visible from public streets.
Category B: Commercial premises
The second category is dedicated to Christmas decorations displayed in shop windows and commercial premises.
Participation is free in both categories. Interested residents and businesses can register through the official municipal platform before the deadline on 14 December.
The decorations must be completely finished and visible from the street by that date. Registering without completing the installation will therefore not be sufficient to meet the competition requirements.
How the Finalists and Winners Will Be Selected
The competition will combine an initial assessment by a qualified jury with a public vote.
Between 16 and 18 December, the jury will visit the registered decorations and select three finalists in each category.
The final decision will then be made through a public vote using the official Instagram account of the Ayuntamiento de Eivissa. Residents will be able to vote through the Town Hall's Instagram Stories on 19 and 20 December.
This means that six entries in total will reach the final stage, with three finalists representing private homes and another three representing commercial premises.
A Night at the Parador and Local Gastronomic Experiences Among the Prizes
The competition will award three prizes in each category, recognising six winning decorations across the two groups.
The first prize includes a one-night hotel stay at the Parador de Ibiza, with access to its spa circuit and breakfast included.
Other prizes include meals or dinners for two people at the restaurant Ca n’Alfredo, as well as baskets featuring local products.
The awards are designed to combine the Christmas competition with experiences connected to Ibiza's hospitality, gastronomy and local producers.
Awards Ceremony on 23 December at Vara de Rey
The official prize-giving ceremony is scheduled to take place on 23 December at Passeig de Vara de Rey, as part of Ibiza Town's Christmas programme.
The event will recognise the winning decorations selected through the public vote and celebrate the participation of residents and businesses in the initiative.
With free registration, two categories and prizes linked to local hospitality and products, the second edition of the competition offers residents and shop owners an opportunity to contribute to the festive atmosphere across Ibiza Town.
