The tradition that was born in La Plata seems to have no limits and Ensenada will repeat what was done in previous years, adding its own momos to the long list of those that will be burned in the provincial capital. Thus, both to say goodbye to 2022 and to receive the New Year, dolls representing different characters from daily life and fiction were set up in different neighborhoods of the neighboring city and will be burned after midnight to welcome 2023.
As reported by the Municipality of Ensenada, there are nine dolls that will burn in New Year:

The local authorities also indicated where each one will be located, so that all the residents will be able to go to those points to enjoy them and photograph them before they are destroyed by fire:

The tradition will also continue in the city this year, where more than fifty momos are being built on different corners and the new generations keep burning the flame of a custom that grew among lime trees and diagonals and became an emblem of local identity. A few days before the arrival of 2023, the Commune reported that so far 56 structures have been registered, exceeding the number registered at the end of last year; all of which will compete for outstanding prizes.
According to the local authorities, in the next few hours there will be talks and safety training to ensure that the festivities are carried out responsibly and controls will be carried out to determine that each and every doll complies with current regulations. .
From Thursday to Saturday at 11:59 p.m., residents will be able to choose the New Year’s Eve doll winner of this edition through online voting on the social networks of the Municipality and the Ministry of Culture and Education. The winners will get a financial incentive that will help them keep the tradition alive next year.
In this way, Distinctions will be given in the categories “Scenography”, “Creativity”, “Completion”, “Idea” and the prize that represents everyone: “The voice of the Dolls (Radio Vértice)”. The jury will be made up of emerging doll makers who vote to choose the winners of the six awards and trophies and diplomas will be awarded. The first place will get $150 thousand pesos, the second $100 thousand, the third $50 thousand and the fourth $30 thousand.
