The Valencian public broadcaster, À Punt, has opened the voting period for the fifth edition of the À Punt Bonfire Awards. This initiative rewards bonfire committees that stand out for including references to the public television and radio, its programs, presenters, or content in their monuments.
Public voting will take place exclusively through the À Punt website. Children's bonfires can be voted for from June 20th to June 22nd, while adult monuments will be available for voting from June 21st to June 23rd. The final results will be announced once the voting period concludes.
In the adult bonfire category, four committees are competing: Francisco Albert, Port d’Alacant, José Ángel Guirao, and Santo Domingo Plaza Tomás Valcárcel. Meanwhile, in the children's category, six monuments are vying for the award: Port d’Alacant, Francisco Albert, Pla Metal, Sant Blai de Baix, Santo Domingo Plaza Tomás Valcárcel, and Explanada.
The awards, in addition to recognizing talent and creativity, include an economic endowment. The top three adult bonfires will receive 1,000, 750, and 500 euros, respectively. In the children's category, the prizes will be 750, 500, and 250 euros, accompanied by an accreditation banner.
The candidacies were selected by evaluating the presence of elements related to À Punt in the monuments, such as figures (ninots), scenes, or references to the broadcaster's activities. Now, the public will have the final say in deciding the winners.
Through this initiative, À Punt reaffirms its commitment to the Hogueras of Alicante and promotes public participation in one of the most emblematic celebrations of the Valencian Community.
