The 2009 Carnival in Tenerife, Canary Islands has already chosen its theme, Frankenstein!!! The Carnival has had a reputation for causing controversy and this year looks to be no different. Artist Gonzalo Luis , whose work was titled Monster Dancer, has been selected from over 104 contestants to design the poster for the forthcoming festival.

All the posters that were entered for consideration are to be exhibited to the public by the Society Municipal Development. This exhibition will be carried out in the center of Santa Cruz, the capital, a in an effort to energize the businesses of the municipality.
