Competition for the acceptance of works in the cartoon field.

This year, the city of Ferizaj celebrates its 150th anniversary (1873-2023)

The city of Ferizaj was born together with the railway. The inn of Feriz Shashivar was the first building, which the city was named after (Feriz - Ferizaj). At that time, the railway brought rapid socio-economic development, where merchants from different countries and nationalities came and started their business, raising Ferizaj to a city, without being a village before. This feature has not been recognized before, not only in Kosovo but also more widely.

Topic 1: Railway as social and economic development, connection between people and war, urbanism and nature.

Topic 2: Free topic
