The jubilee - 10th edition resulted in 19 submissions. The thematic range of the author's exhibitions was broad - from implementations addressing current social issues through concepts drawing from personal experiences, to formal experiments within a specific technique.

The winners were (previously mentioned) Wojciech Mandela and the MEET group. Additionally, the jury decided to distinguish (without project implementation) Julia Brodziak and Malv Miel (Malwina Mielniczuk).

Wojciech Mandela - an Opole-based self-taught sculptor and craftsman - was awarded for his readiness to meet with the audience in a space that changes over the duration of the exhibition. Meanwhile, the MEET Group, co-created by Łukasz Szczepanowicz, Małgorzata Więckowicz-Żyła, and Maja Żurawiecka, submitted the project "10 Hearts", which is a proposal for empathy training towards nature based on the group's many years of experience in the fields of architecture, illustration, environmental protection, and organization of educational-cultural events.

The winning exhibitions will be available for viewing at the Aneks GSW Gallery in the first half of 2024. For detailed information, please visit: galeriaopole.pl

Congratulations to the winners, we are proud to be part of such an event!
