Montilla announces the 2027 Three Kings Parade with 10,700 euros in prizes

The Montilla City Council has approved the rules for the 2027 Three Kings Parade Contest, a call for entries with 10,700 euros in prizes, reserved for the parent-teacher associations (AMPAs) of public and semi-private schools in the municipality. The resolution was signed by the Deputy Mayor for Sports, Festivities, and Education, Miguel Sánchez Castro, on October 19, 2026, and its summary was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba number 207, corresponding to Monday, October 26, 2026, under the official reference BOP-A-2026-3601.

The announcement is processed as a summary of a grant call in accordance with articles 17.3.b and 20.8.a of the General Grants Law 38/2003, of November 17, and is identified in the National Grants Database (BDNS) with the number 936964, where the full text of the call can be consulted. The call is linked to the Three Kings Festivity, celebrated on January 5, 2027, and refers to the rules for the parade schedule.

Eight prizes and a distribution of 10,700 euros

The financial endowment is distributed across eight awards, such that virtually all candidacies that meet the requirements receive a financial return:

• First prize: 1,500.00 euros.
• Second prize: 1,400.00 euros.
• Third to eighth prizes: 1,300.00 euros each.
• Total amount of the call: 10,700.00 euros.

The staggered distribution, with only a 200-euro difference between first and second place and a flat 1,300 euros for the remaining six positions, prioritizes the participation of the AMPAs over competitiveness between them.

Beneficiaries: AMPAs of public and semi-private schools

The first section of the summary precisely defines the target group: the associations of mothers and fathers of students from public and semi-private centers in Montilla, identified in the text as CEIP. Therefore, other entities, neighborhood groups, or associations without links to the municipality’s educational centers are excluded from the call.

The declared objective is the call for the 2027 Three Kings Parade Contest on the occasion of the Three Kings Festivity on January 5, 2027, at the time set by the rules. The summary does not detail the route or the technical conditions of the parades, which are referred entirely to the articles of the regulatory rules.

Fifteen business days to submit applications

The deadline for submitting applications is 15 business days starting from the day following the publication of the rules in the Official Gazette of the Province, that is, from October 27, 2026. The full regulatory rules are available through three channels:

• The Municipal Notice Board of the Montilla City Council.
• The National Grants Database, under the call file 936964.
• The municipal website, at the address https://montilla.es/concursos/.

The resolution is dated in Montilla on October 19, 2026, and the published document incorporates the secure verification code B3BF 123A 3CE0 8849 C45D, with an electronic signature stamp dated October 26, 2026.

The call is announced slightly more than two months before Three Kings’ Night and makes the schools the direct organizers of the municipal parade. For families, the calendar is the key piece of information: the application window opens on October 27 and closes fifteen business days later, meaning that interested parent-teacher associations (AMPAs) must prepare their float project and documentation before mid-November to compete for prizes that this year reach 10,700 euros.
