Óptica Jimeno, located on Jorge Juan Street, number 14, has won first prize in the XI Christmas Window Display Contest organized by the Cartagena City Council. This business recreated an original Christmas scene with Playmobil figures in one of its windows. The second was for Floristería Alameda, at number 15 Alameda de San Antón, and the third for Submarine Shop, on Cañón Street. The jury awarded three second prizes to Ecobio tu herbolario, Óptica El Algar and Ferretería Sánchez Casado.
26 businesses participated in the contest, nineteen more than had done so in the previous edition. «This competition is organized with two main objectives. First of all, boost retail trade during the Christmas season. And on the other hand, directly support small businesses by motivating them to work on one of the most important aspects of their business, their storefront,” said the Councilor for Commerce, Hospitality and Consumer Affairs, Belén Romero.
The best decoration will receive as a prize an advertising campaign in LA VERDAD valued at one thousand euros. The second best, an advertorial that will be broadcast on Onda Cero Cartagena. And the third, advertising in Cartagena de Hoy. The prizes will be awarded on January 15.
The jury that awarded the awards was made up of representatives of the Official Chamber of Commerce of Cartagena, the Confederation of Businessmen of the Cartagena Region, the City Council and the General Directorate of Commerce of the Autonomous Community.
In addition to the awards, the jury made a special mention to the participating businesses: Centro Óptico Cartagena, Librería Laura, Calzados Cenit, Tejidos Santa Ana y Disfraces Santa Ana, Farmacia Juan Bautista Sánchez Carrascosa, Thais Moda y Complementos, Magalith Acosta Estilista, El Trastero, Alain Afflelou, Perfumería Droguería Spin, La Boutique de Sandra, Cartago Mundi, PDF, Betty & Benny Kids, Arpegio, Castellini Audiovisuales, Srta Walls and Kinvel.
