Now it’s time to make an impact in HS’s city delivery pepper competition. In the competition’s 10th anniversary year, 11 top works are included in the adult final. In the children’s series, eight pepper works reached the finals.

The theme of the festive season is Future Helsinki 2099. The works that made it to the finals have pepper artists’ views of both joyful and gloomy images of the future.

A popular topic in the competition this time was the flooding of the city. Future cityscapes as well as climate change and green energy solutions can also be seen in the final works.

A pepper race there were 120 competition entries this year. Bakers up to 12 years old were eligible for the children’s series.

In the Christmas 2022 gingerbread contest, eight works made it to the finals of the children’s series.

The editor’s jury selected a total of 19 works for the final from the photos showing pepper works. The winner of the adult category will be announced in the magazine and HS.fi at Christmas. The winner of the children’s series will be revealed on HS.fi and HS’s Children’s News magazine, which will be published on December 21.

The authors of the winning pepper in both series will be rewarded with a book.

Children’s and adult series have their own votes. First you can choose the best of the children’s works, and then the adults’ gingerbread works. You can find the separate voting forms after the pictures of each group of finalists.
