applied directly on the fabric without any primer.
6. - The Town Hall will provide the cloth, by sending it
free. If any author wants to make himself the cloth, this must meet the following characteristics:
cotton canvas ecru 250x163cm. All sides will be sewed to avoid fraying. Works will be
placed vertically from a balcony. The cloth will have 7 strips sewed, following the model attached to suit the structure of the balconies. The
