Poster of the Feast of the Magdalena 2018

Entering the fall, it is tradition to choose and present the poster that will announce the festivities that the city will celebrate in the aftermath of the following winter, when spring will ask for passage.

As it was done last year, the City Council of Castellón, through the Festival Board, called the annual contest to choose the poster that will announce our Magdalena festivities 2018. Once the deadline, on October 17, a jury of experts, among which was the drought Estefanía Climent as Queen of the previous year, chose 10 posters from among the 27 works presented. These 10 posters went on to the next phase, that of the popular vote through the website decidim.castello.es.

The voting deadline ended on October 30, with the winner of the “Colors al Vent” poster, written by Marisol Barceló and Juan Vicente Fabregat, who thus revalidated the prize won last year.

Once this process was over, it was time to teach all the neighbors the posters and especially the winner. This year, due to the coincidence with the delivery of a prize to the Gaiatas, it was necessary to change the day on which it was traditionally held, that is, on Friday afternoon, it was passed on Saturday at noon. Therefore, on Saturday, November 4, at around 12:00 p.m., the porticos of the City Council welcomed the world of the party, which went to the exhibition hall of the Davalos Fletcher Foundation so that the Queens, Carla and Lucia, cut the ribbon giving the exhibition as inaugurated. An exhibition decorated mainly with pyrotechnic motifs donated by Pirotecnia Peñarroja. Of course, the Gaiata del Sequiol, was present with various members of the commission and with our positions 2018, Àgueda, Nagore and Iker together with our president Elisabeth.

Once in the interior, the protocol act would come, taking the thread of the act the manager of the mentioned foundation; reading of the minutes of the jury by another sequiolero, Javier Roig; and subsequent signing of the poster by the winners, who addressed to the audience some emotional words, explaining the meaning of the poster, followed by interventions by the President of the Board of Festivals, Juan Vicente Bellido and the president of the board, Sara Usó, who could not contain the tears when remembering the emotional words of Juan Vicente Fabregat. And to close, the traditional “Magdalena!”, Launched by the two Queens.

Then, the pictures of rigor for the memory of the protagonists of these celebrations, next to the poster announcer of his year.
As we say, the 2018 parties are underway and they already have their poster announcer. Those “Colors to the Vent”, we will be familiar because they were in most of the shops in the city, indicating that almost “the day is arribat”.
