Description

For 60 years, the Mollerussa National Paper Dress Competition has been an unavoidable cultural and social milestone in the lands of Lleida and Mollerussa. The contest shows the parade of models in shiny dresses made entirely of paper. The town councils of Mollerussa, Amposta and the Union of Parishes of Porto are promoting a joint candidacy to achieve the recognition of paper dresses as Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
