Fiesta Medals Contest returns

With Fiesta finally happening, it’s to time to break out all those fabulous Fiesta medals. And like Pokémon for your sash or guayabera, we just gotta catch

’em all to celebrate their return.

That’s right, folks. It’s time once again for the Express-News Fiesta Medals Contest. Each Fiesta season we showcase all sorts of mass-produced medals, from the classic clip-ons of King Antonio, El Rey Feo and other official Fiesta courts and nonprofits to the real far-out stuff from area businesses and everyday Fiesta fans.

This year we’ll highlight the hottest medals in the pages of S.A. Life and at expressnews.com/fiesta.

Here are the rules for submitting your Fiesta medal:

• The Fiesta Medals Contest is open to nonprofit groups and agencies, foundations, schools, universities and clubs. Official Fiesta royals may enter, too, as can businesses and individuals who just love Fiesta.

• Only manufactured and mass-produced medals are allowed. No handmade medals.

• Entries will be judged on design, originality and production quality.

• Entries will not be returned. Medals will be auctioned off and the proceeds donated to a local journalism group for scholarships.

How to submit your medal:

• Fill out the short online form at expressnews.com/fiesta2021form.

• Take a color photo of your medal (no illustrations) on a white background and email it to rguzman@express-news.net.

• Print the form and mail it with your medal to San Antonio Express-News, Fiesta Medals Contest, c/o René Guzman, P.O. Box 2171, San Antonio, TX 78297.

• You also may drop off medal entries in an envelope with the completed form at the ExpressNews at 301 Ave. E. Please take entries to the employee entrance on Avenue E from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Deadline for entries is 5 p.m.
