Carnival comes alive again in Vosselaar: more enthusiasm for prince election and search for golden medal

The election for 'Prince and Princess Carnival' in Vosselaar is set to be exciting this year with three duos competing for the title, a first since 1993. The carnival association 'Toeten of blazen' is thrilled about the renewed enthusiasm, as they previously struggled to find even one candidate. The search for the golden medal has also resumed, offering a prize of a carnival weekend worth around 700 euros. Participants will engage in various tasks, including campaigning and performing, while the public and jury will decide the winners. The search for the medal has become a serious endeavor, with past incidents of participants digging in unusual places. The organization ensures the medal is hidden in public areas only, and the new carnival pin has been introduced to help fund next year's festivities.
