Are you an illustrator, graphic designer, painter, photographer or a visual artist working in any 2D medium?
We invite you to create a poster inspired by the historical role of rivers. Look into how they have shaped human life over time - as pathways, borders, resources, and as a vital part of our cultural and historical identity.
The selected works will be displayed in a temporary open-air gallery by the Yantra River in Veliko Tarnovo as part of the “48 Hours Varusha South” festival.
Prizes:
- Jury’s award: €1000
- People’s choice award: €700
- Special award by ‘Design by Yantra’ youth team: €500
- Jury’s runner-up : €350
Deadline for applications: June 2, 2025
