The Valencian public broadcaster, À Punt, has opened the voting period for the fifth edition of the Fogueres Awards 2026, which recognize commissions that incorporate television elements into their monuments.

The popular vote, conducted through the À Punt website, will determine the winning hogueras in two categories. Voting for children's hogueras is open from June 20th to 22nd, while votes for adult hogueras can be cast from June 21st to 23rd.
A total of ten hogueras commissions are competing for the awards. In the adult category, there are four candidates: Francisco Albert, Port d’Alacant, José Ángel Guirao, and Santo Domingo Plaza Tomás Valcárcel. In the children's category, participants include Port d’Alacant, Francisco Albert, Pla Metal, Sant Blai de Baix, Santo Domingo Plaza Tomás Valcárcel, and Explanada.
The results will be announced once the voting period concludes. The top three most voted hogueras in each category will be revealed as the winners of the À Punt 2026 Awards, receiving an economic endowment and a commemorative banner.
The awarded adult hogueras will receive 1,000, 750, and 500 euros, respectively. The children's hogueras will obtain 750, 500, and 250 euros, in addition to the commemorative banner. Candidacies were selected based on the presence of elements related to À Punt in the monuments.
Through this initiative, À Punt reinforces its commitment to the Fogueres of Alicante and promotes citizen participation in one of the most representative festivals of the Valencian Community.
