Bases

FIRST
The registration of the GROUPS will be done in the Registry of the Santoña City Council (ground floor) from Monday, January 29 to Wednesday, February 7 at 2:00 p.m. hours.
SECOND
The official form provided by this City Council will be used for registration.
THIRD
To be able to register and participate in the contest, the group must have a minimum of 10 members.
FOURTH
The groups participating in the contest must parade in the same and may be accompanied by anything that makes the group more attractive (dolls, carts, accessories, floats, etc.)
FIFTH:
The Jury will be chosen by the President of the Celebrations Department, or person whom he delegates, and will be located on the route at the height of the Brisas, a place where the participating groups will be able to perform, if they wish, some choreography in that area in front of the jury.

 The Jury will assess the following aspects to award each of the prizes:
- Preparation of the costume, tailoring and work.
- Sympathy when parading stealing a few laughs from the audience.
- The surprising thing about the costume, the number of components, its choreography, the impact it causes among the audience.
SIXTH
The contest prizes will be:
- First Prize - 1000 euros + trophy
- Second Prize - 500 euros + trophy
- Third Prize - 300 euros + trophy

SEVENTH
The deadline for submitting registrations will be from January 29 to February 7, with NO draw for the order of departure, which will be awarded in the reverse order of registration. This means that the first to register will get number 1 and will be the last to parade (the groups will leave in reverse order, with group number 1 closing the parade). On the day of the parade, Saturday, February 10, registrations will be collected exceptionally from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the starting area (in front of the Napoleón Restaurant). From this time, non-registered groups will be able to parade but not participate in the contest. The groups that register last will be the ones that open the carnival parade. Non-registered groups may parade but not participate in the contest.

EIGHTH
The City Council will provide the number that each group will carry visibly on the route. The group that does not parade in its position and with the corresponding number will be disqualified. The groups that do not participate in the contest and the rest of the people who want to parade along one of the lanes of O'Donnell Street will be placed at the exit, while the groups that participate in the contest and are registered must be placed in the another lane for better organization of the exit. Groups that want to register last time they must go to the organization to provide their information and collect the departure number, with which they will be among the first to leave. (6pm-6:30pm)

NINTH
If a group has won a prize, they will NOT be eligible to win the Most Original Prize.

TENTH
Once the Grand Parade is over, the result and the presentation of the three awards will be made public on the stage of the Plaza de San Antonio.
ELEVENTH
Submission to the Parade Contest will imply acceptance of these Rules.
