The ceremonial of granting the diplomas and grand opening of exhibition of awarded art works will occur on Friday, 15th of May 2009 at 14:00 at The Gallery of Young People's Art Works in Celje, Slovenia. We kindly ask those awardees and their mentors from abroad who need visas for entering Slovenia and wish to attend the ceremonial to inform us about this until 15th of March 2009, because the process of acquiring visa takes quite some time. We ask the other awardees who don't need visas to confirm their participation at the ceremonial until 1st of May 2009.

We are looking forward to our future cooperation and are sending you our best regards from Celje and Slovenia.
