– Supernatural Association Events and Activities for the Subject of Religion (EAR) is promoting, as usual, supported by Free toChooseThe National School Nativity Scenes Contest, this year in its fifth edition.
All schools in Spain can participate, regardless of their educational level. The idea is to take some photos of the Nativity Scene of the school and send them to the email concursobelenesescolares@gmail.com before December 16, with which the school is registered. You can consult the rules here.
The winner will be announced through the Association's networks and websites on December 22, 2022. The winners of last year's contest, Christmas 2021, were the Nativity Scene of CEIP Parque de Cataluña, Madrid; the second prize went to the Nativity Scene of Cristo Rey School, Seville; and the third prize went to the Nativity Scene of San Enrique School, Quart de Poblet, Valencia.
The organizers expressed their gratitude to all the participating centers, leaders and children, and not so children, and pointed out that the decision had been very difficult, due to the variety of the nativity scenes: pine cones, plasticine, cardboard, stones, wool, corks, recycled materials and a large etcetera.
