Dear participants, dear friends!
Happy New Year and Merry Christmas! Next year I wish you creative inspiration and new ideas. Let work bring only joy, and in life only happy and wonderful events happen! Thanks to everyone who supported our competition and supported IWS Poland. In 2019 we planned not one interesting event, and many bright surprises!
The first stage of the competition is over; for the last 5 days, members of the distinguished jury selected the winners of the first stage of the «Step by Step» competition. It was very difficult, because you sent a lot of beautiful work.
By unanimous decision, members of a respected jury decided to declare another Special Award. Because many leaders of IWS supported our competition, it was decided to single out one winner among the participants of IWS at each stage.
I want to thank the IWS Leaders of all countries that took part in the first stage. It is a great honor for me to see your work at the competition! I would be happy for your participation in the next stages of the «Step by Step» competition.
I thank all the participants of the first stage, your work is beautiful and each is unforgettable in its own way. I look forward to your work in the next stages of the competition!
I would also like to announce that from August 16 to August 19, 2019 in Poland in the heart of the city of Gdansk, on the Baltic Sea coast, a festival of watercolor art will be held, dedicated to the “Step by Step” competition award ceremony. All prizes, gifts and awards, as well as many surprises, will be presented at the awards ceremony. More information wait later https://www.facebook.com/IWSPolandnew/.
