Freshening Up for San Fermin 2025: A Homage to Tradition
Gear up for the 2025 Sanfermines as Sandra Nadal, a local Pamplonan artist, unveils the event's official poster. The captivating artwork boasts a lifelike depiction of a residential façade adorned with traditional San Fermin attire — white clothing and red accents.
An enthusiastic crowd selected the popular poster from a pool of 490 submissions, marking 39.1% of the total 10,475 valid votes. The second runner-up received a mere 17% — a testament to thecommanding lead of the winning design.
The jury commended "Pamplona Home" for its "technical prowess and its ability to evoke a deeply familiar San Fermin scene that resonates profoundly with Pamplonans. The oil paint gives the work a warm, tactile quality, and the image of the bustling balcony brimming with hangings transports viewers right into the heart of the festivities."
A Wink to the Past, a Salute to the People of Pamplona
Sandra's work digs deeper into the symbolism of the everyday chore of laundry preparation and its transformation into a vivid festive tradition. Her oil painting on canvas, as she explains in her application, "pays tribute to the city's rich cultural heritage and the strong bond between its people."
The seemingly mundane act of hanging laundry serves as a powerful emblem: it represents "our shared identity," says Nadal, "a cherished tradition that binds us together." The simple gesture signifies that the San Fermin festivities are an extension of our daily lives, an inherent part of our homes, not just an isolated event.
Nadal skillfully weaves together themes of care, routine, and communal living, shared in the act of hanging laundry, with themes of hospitality, warmth, and inclusivity, synonymous with the festivals. In her artwork, she invites the viewer to experience the San Fermin spirit, to join the celebrations, to feel welcome and a part of this vibrant, open community.
Aside from receiving national and international acclaim, Nadal will also receive a prize of 5,000 euros for her winning creation. The poster borrows from the anticipation surrounding the annual event, from the 'chupinazo' to the 'pobre de mí,' including the opportunity for users to choose their favorite display for each encierro.
