This year, with great enthusiasm, we organized the <strong>Altar de Muertos Contest<\/strong> during the month of November, an event that not only honors our deceased loved ones, but also promotes creativity, teamwork and community spirit among our employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main objective of the contest was to keep alive this beautiful Mexican tradition, which is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Employees organized themselves into teams and used their ingenuity and creativity to create unique and meaningful altars. Each altar told a story that reflected the cultural roots and values we share as a Coliman team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the event, we were able to admire the care and dedication with which each team recreated the essential elements of a traditional altar: photographs, candles, marigolds, papel picado and ofrendas. Innovative details that highlighted the originality and talent of our collaborators were also included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jury, made up of representatives from different areas, had the difficult task of choosing the winners. Taking into account aspects such as creativity, design, respect for tradition and the message conveyed, the winning teams were as follows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First place: <\/strong>Team from Candelaria, Tecom\u00e1n, Colima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second place:<\/strong> Team from Tapachula, Chiapas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Third place:<\/strong> Tie between the Palenque team and the Logistics team, both in Tecom\u00e1n, Colima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of activities are essential to strengthen the bonds between our employees and to remember the importance of preserving our traditions. At Coliman Bananas, we are committed not only to excellence in our work, but also to the promotion of cultural values that enrich our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to everyone who participated and made this contest a memorable event! Let&#8217;s continue to work together to keep our traditions and spirit of unity alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See all the participating altars at the following link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1IqLdr8PT39h4Q-GbSTq8vjztSRIvzBS3\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1IqLdr8PT39h4Q-GbSTq8vjztSRIvzBS3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1IqLdr8PT39h4Q-GbSTq8vjztSRIvzBS3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"763\" src=\"https:\/\/colimanbananas.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Altar-de-muertos-2025-1030x763-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colimanbananas.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Altar-de-muertos-2025-1030x763-1.png 1030w, https:\/\/colimanbananas.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Altar-de-muertos-2025-1030x763-1-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/colimanbananas.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Altar-de-muertos-2025-1030x763-1-768x569.png 768w, https:\/\/colimanbananas.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Altar-de-muertos-2025-1030x763-1-705x522.png 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Coliman Bananas, we value and celebrate the traditions that are part of our cultural identity.
