Gunpowder continues to gain importance in the Hogueras of Alicante. The mascletàs of the 'Pòlvora tot l'any' cycle, organized by the Federation, enter the competition, and the winner will be responsible for launching the 'Arribada del foc' spectacle in the following year.

In this new competition of the Hogueras of Alicante, all pyrotechnics contracted to execute the displays of this cycle of mascletàs until June participate, except for the one responsible for the Gran Vía roundabout and the 'Arriba del foc' of 2025.

This will be a new incentive to celebrate the next pyrotechnic gala, following its debut last September, where all the displays of the current year were revealed.

In the future gala, a trophy will be awarded to the 'Best mascletà of the Pòlvora tot l'any cycle', in addition to commissioning the next 'Arribada del foc' on the façade of El Corte Inglés de moda, in the Estrella roundabout.

This responsibility, to assess which is the best mascletà of this cycle, will fall on a jury composed of four people chosen by the Federation. The Technical Management Office, Universal Accessibility and Inclusion will act as an advisor, and the person responsible for the General Secretariat will also act as secretary.

The jury will evaluate, "completely autonomously and independently," various criteria such as the theme of the proposed spectacle, the types and quantity of pyrotechnic devices used in the display, the use of colours in the mascletà, rhythmic patterns, and innovation in the elements used. Their decision will be "final."

Mascletàs in competition

The 'Pòlvora tot l'any' cycle of the Hogueras of Alicante began on 22 September with a mascletà in the vicinity of the José Rico Pérez stadium and continued with the New Year's Eve display in Plaza Galicia.

Gunpowder will return to the streets of Alicante on 2 February, with a mascletà in sector four, on Avenida Ejércitos Españoles, at 2 p.m., thus continuing the pyrotechnic calendar.
