After last year’s successful event, Zsolnay Festival of Light and Zsolnay Heritage Management Nonprofit Ltd. announced the second annual international Zsolnay Light Art Mapping Competition composed on Pécs Cathedral, with a total prize money of €10.000.
Mappings will be displayed for two nights on June 30 and July 1 on the façade of Pécs Cathedral as the main attraction of Zsolnay Festival of Light. Organizing partner and official host of the 2017 competition, internationally renowned Hungarian visual arts studio, Glowing Bulbs will also be presenting yet another opus at this year’s festival, and a selection of out-of-competition works will be showcased on the night of June 30, including Glowing Bulbs’ epic work, ‘The Book of Jonah’.
