Junta Central Fallera has published the rules for applying for the rewards of the 2026-2027 season, one of those processes that makes no noise in the street but moves a lot of casal life behind the scenes: record of service, merits, deadlines and paperwork properly tied up so that nobody arrives late.

What happened

The Rewards Delegation of Junta Central Fallera has activated the documentation for requesting the 2027 rewards. The official communication, published on 26 May, refers to a specific document with the rules of the 2026-2027 season and the deadlines set for processing applications.

In practice, this means that commissions and interested individuals now have the guide on the table to prepare their files. It is not the most glamorous part of the festival, that's for sure, but it is one of the most sensitive: the rewards recognise career, participation and dedication to the Fallas, which is why each application should be prepared calmly, reviewing requirements and dates.

The document linked by JCF is addressed to the new season, the one leading up to Fallas 2027, and arrives at a time of considerable administrative activity. In recent weeks other important procedures have also moved forward, such as the classification files for next year's fallas or the rules linked to the election calendar of the Falleras Mayores de València 2027.

So although March may seem far away on the calendar, May is proving to be a month of fine work for secretariats, presidencies and delegations. And anyone who has ever handled fallero paperwork knows these things are better looked at early than rushed at the last minute.

Why it matters to the fallero world

The rewards are part of the festival's internal memory. They are not just a badge or another entry in a record: for many falleras and falleros they sum up years of work in the commission, participation in events, positions held, responsibilities and that constant commitment that is often seen little but sustains a great deal.

That is why each call directly affects the casals. Commissions have to review service records, confirm data, check that each candidacy meets the requirements and organise the documentation before sending it. If the process is left for the end, the rush, the oversights and the typical "we had that written down somewhere" moments appear. Better to avoid that.

It also matters because the fallero calendar is built on these small pieces. While the news usually focuses on monuments, candidacies, prizes or big events, the administrative machinery keeps running underneath. Without those deadlines, keeping an orderly recognition of those who have been contributing to the festival for years would be much harder.

The sensible recommendation for commissions is simple: download the document, share it with the secretariat and review as soon as possible which applications they want to prepare. No need to make a mascletà drama out of a PDF, but it is worth treating it seriously. Then, once everything is submitted on time, the casal breathes much easier.

So this week it is less photo and more folder. Very fallero too, even if it does not appear in the llibret with glitter.
