The Condamine Market came alive on Thursday as children, parents, and grandparents gathered for the prize-giving ceremony of the 2nd annual Mon plus beau dessin au Père Noël contest. Organised by Monaco’s City Hall, the event celebrated the creative talents of children aged up to eight years.

The winners were announced by Axelle Amalberti Verdino, Deputy Mayor in charge of Animations and Leisure, joined by fellow Council members Marjorie Crovetto, Jacques Pastor, Jean-Marc Deoriti-Castellini, Karyn Salopek Ardisson, and Nathalie Vaccarezza. Apolline (three years), Pierre (four years), Victoire (six years), Clément (eight years), and Lilly (eight years) emerged as winners for their heartwarming and imaginative creations.

Additionally, a special ‘grandparents’ prize’ was awarded to Arthur (five years), chosen by beneficiaries of the Seniors’ Unit.

The winning drawings will soon be printed on placemats to be distributed at the Condamine Market’s gourmet hall, blending festive art with community celebration. Each winner also received a gift voucher in recognition of their efforts.

To honor all participants, the event concluded with a snack party, bringing children and families together in the joyous atmosphere of the market.
