The aim of the “Invisible World” competition organized by the “Śródmieście” Youth Cultural Centre in Wrocław was to create abstract representations surprising in their form and colour, as well as funny, interesting creatures inhabiting a hidden world that can arise only in the imagination.

Two participants of the art classes at the Stanisława Wojda-Pytlińska studio of the Bolesławiec Cultural Centre–International Ceramics Centre won the most important awards in the competition. Eight-year-old Mateusz Herowski received the main prize (Grand Prix), while nine-year-old Marta Kozłowska received the Director’s Award of the “Śródmieście” Youth Cultural Centre.
