Santa Eulària Launches Its Second Christmas Balcony Decoration Competition with €2,500 in Prizes

November 10, 2026

Santa Eulària des Riu is inviting residents to bring some extra Christmas spirit to the municipality with the return of its Christmas Balcony Decoration Competition. Now in its second edition, the initiative encourages residents and neighbourhood communities to decorate their balconies, windows, façades and entrances, helping transform the municipality's streets into a festive Christmas display.

Organised by Santa Eulària Town Hall in collaboration with Santa Eulària Empresarial, the competition offers six prizes worth a combined €2,500. Registration is free and open until 17 November 2026.

Residents and Neighbourhood Communities Can Participate

Following the first edition in 2025, the competition returns with two separate categories, giving both individual households and residential communities the opportunity to participate.

The first category is open to private homes, while the second is dedicated to communities of neighbours who wish to decorate shared areas and building façades collectively.

Participation is open to residents of the municipality who have a property, balcony, façade or entrance visible from the public street and located within one of Santa Eulària's urban centres.

The initiative aims to encourage community involvement, promote creativity and contribute to a festive atmosphere throughout the municipality during the Christmas season.

€2,500 in Prizes Across Six Categories

The competition will distribute a total of €2,500 through six prizes, with three awards available in each category.

For private homes, the prizes are:

  • First prize: €500

  • Second prize: €300

  • Third prize: €200

For residents' communities, the prizes are:

  • First prize: €700

  • Second prize: €500

  • Third prize: €300

The awards will be provided as shopping vouchers that can be redeemed at local businesses participating in the municipality's Christmas commercial promotion campaign.

The initiative therefore combines festive decoration with support for Santa Eulària's local shops and businesses during the important Christmas shopping period.

Creativity and Sustainable Decorations Take Centre Stage

The competition will assess several aspects of each decoration, including originality, creativity, visual presentation, composition, lighting and the quality of the finished installation.

Particular attention will also be given to the use of sustainable and recycled materials, encouraging participants to consider environmentally conscious approaches to their Christmas decorations.

The final results will be determined through a combination of professional and public evaluation.

A jury made up of municipal representatives and professionals from the fields of art, design and gardening will account for 70% of the final score. The remaining 30% will come from a public vote conducted through social media.

The winners will be announced on 11 December 2026.

When Must the Christmas Decorations Be Installed?

Residents who enter the competition will need to have their decorations installed and visible from the street from 1 December 2026.

All participating displays must remain in place until 6 January 2027, including both dates.

This means the decorated balconies, windows, façades and entrances will be visible throughout the main Christmas and New Year period, creating an opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy the festive displays around the municipality.
