Carteles de San Fermín, todos los años

San Fermín Posters by Year

Every San Fermín has one official poster, the cartel anunciador de las fiestas, chosen by the City of Pamplona. Here are the posters of every fiesta from 1903 to 2026 in our archive, and earlier posters back to 1846, with the artist where the record names one.

Cartel de San Fermín 2026: “La Cuadrilla”

The 2026 poster is “La Cuadrilla” by Marta Garatea Almagro. It won the city’s contest by public vote from ten finalists, out of 488 works entered.

See what happened under it on the street: the San Fermín 2026 page has every morning, ranch and bull.

How the San Fermín Poster Is Chosen

The City of Pamplona opens a contest for the cartel anunciador each spring. In 2026 it received 488 works. A jury chose ten finalists, and the finalists went to a popular vote open to everyone registered in Pamplona, online, at Civivox ballot boxes or by phone. The winner receives 5,000 euros and each of the other nine finalists 500 euros. Entries are anonymous until the decision: an author who reveals a work is excluded.

The city acquires the winning poster for its own use. Under the contest rules, licensing the image to others, including on merchandise, belongs to the artist. That is why you will find the year’s poster printed on shirts in shops along the route. It makes a great poster; on a shirt it is one big rectangle. Our shirts carry something else: the morning you ran, with every bull’s name.

Carteles antes de 1903 (before 1903)

1891	Lit. Portabella	“Julio 1891” over the town hall
