Advent is fast approaching, and the town is preparing for it with a host of programmes and events; you can read about these in our article from yesterday .
„The Tokaji Cultural Centre, the Ferenc Németi Municipal Library. Through their own artwork, participants can show what the festive season means to them and how they imagine the most beautiful Christmas.
Entries are invited in four age categories: pre-school children (up to the age of 6), lower primary school pupils (Years 1–4), upper primary school pupils (Years 5–8), and adults. Completed drawings can be submitted to the Ferenc Németi Municipal Library by Friday, 27 November 2026 at the latest. It is important that the entrant’s name and year of birth are written on the back of each entry.
The public decides on the best drawings
After the submission deadline, the entries received will be uploaded to the Tokaji Cultural Centre’s Facebook page, where a public vote will decide the winners in each category. The entry that receives the most ‘likes’ in its own age group will win the competition.
Voting for the drawings is open until 4.00 pm on Saturday 5 December 2026. The results will be announced the following day, on Sunday 6 December, at 2.45 pm, just before the arrival of Joulupukki, the real Finnish Father Christmas.
The winners of the four categories will receive a gift pack, whilst the public will be able to admire the winning entries at Santa’s House on Tokaj’s main square from the second weekend of Advent.
