Events
Over the course of the year, we organize various events to which we draw attention here and to which we invite you. One regular event is the vernissage, which marks the official opening of the exhibition of all submissions accepted for the jury meeting in September. Our SPOTLIGHT ON series of events is dedicated to former winners and their topics in various formats.
