A festive atmosphere filled the Marché de la Condamine on Thursday evening, December 19, as the eagerly awaited prize ceremony for the second edition of the “Mon plus beau dessin au Père Noël” contest took place. Organised by Monaco’s Town Hall, the competition invited children up to eight years old, enrolled in Monaco’s schools, to showcase their artistic talents by creating their most beautiful drawing for Santa Claus.
The announcement of winners was led by Axelle Amalberti Verdino, Deputy Mayor in charge of Animations and Leisure, alongside several members of the Municipal Council, including Marjorie Crovetto, Jacques Pastor, Jean-Marc Deoriti-Castellini, Karyn Salopek Ardisson, and Nathalie Vaccarezza.
The winners were as follows: Apolline (age 3), Pierre (age 4), Victoire (age 6), and Clément and Lilly (both age 8). Special recognition went to Arthur (age 5), who received the “Grandparents’ Prize,” chosen by beneficiaries of the Seniors Unit. The winning artworks, praised for their charm and creativity, will soon be featured on placemats distributed at the gourmet hall of the Marché de la Condamine. Each winner also received a gift voucher as part of their reward.
