The mask has become an indisputable complement to everyday life. Surgical, cloth … The options are increasing. So it is not surprising that for a special occasion such as the festival of San Antonio in Ceuta and the festivities in honor of the Virgin of Africa the City want to have a mask specially designed and prepared for the occasion. Thats why he Ceuta City Council has organized individual mask competitions to choose a design for each holiday. Thus, these are the first two mask design competitions to be held in the city.
Feast of San Antonio
The first design contest for masks of the San Antonio 2021 festivities will be held from approximately April 13 and will have a budget of 300 euros that will be allocated in full to the economic prize that the winner of the contest will receive.
As many artists and designers may participate in it. It can be done individually or as a team, whatever their nationality, and a total of two proposals may be submitted. According to the rules presented by the City Council, the subject of the designs must take into account the festival that deals with San Antonio and show among their peers, clear and attractive messages that promote self-care and care of others through the use of the mask.
The mask proposals will be free in conception and techniques. The design should not be very complex, designed with separation for both faces, since when stamped on the mask it would lose quality, with the characteristics and measurements of a standard mask as shown in the drawing. The works will be presented in DIN-A4 format and on digital support in tif or jpg format. In addition, they will be presented in a color and black and white version, in a sealed envelope and, if available, the legend must be in Spanish. Works that contain errors in their labeling will not be accepted.
Celebrations in honor of the Virgin of Africa
The conditions and requirements for the first mask design contest with motifs of the festivities in honor of the Virgin of Africa are the same as those presented above. In this case, the contest will be held from August 5 and the subject of the designs must take into account the party in honor of the Virgin of Africa, perpetual Mayor of the City and show among their peers, clear and attractive messages that encourage self-care and caring for others through the use of the mask.
