Individuals and groups interested in participating in any of the categories can register until February 10 through the Electronic Headquarters.
The City Council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, through the Autonomous Organization of Festivities and Recreational Activities (OAFAR), has opened registration for the Adult and Children’s Costume Contest of Carnival 2025, dedicated to “The Secrets of Africa,” which will take place on February 23 at 11:00 AM at the Recinto Ferial. This year, the registration period will remain open from today until February 10. Any individual or group wishing to participate in this contest must submit their registration along with the required documentation via the City Council’s Electronic Headquarters.
The order of appearance on stage will be determined by the strict order of registration, and the prizes range from 90 euros for the third-place individual child’s prize to 720 euros for the first-place group prize for more than 12 participants in the adult category.
For the mayor of the city, Jose Manuel Bermúdez, “this is one of the contests that preserves the most essence of our carnival, which was born on the streets and with costumes, and still maintains the same spirit.” For the councilor of Festivities, Javier Caraballero, “this format gives us the opportunity to assess and give more recognition to the work that so many people carry out in a handcrafted way in their homes with the sole purpose of enhancing our streets every February and making our carnival more spectacular.”
