This year's winners of the prestigious Grand Prix were Sanne De Wilde (France) and Benedicte Kurzen (Belgium) with a series of photographs titled “Land of Ibeji“. The decision was made by the international six-member expert jury: Bruna Kazinoti – photographer, Ana Frangovska – National Gallery of Macedonia, Una Popović – Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art (Serbia), Dr. Iva Prosoli – Museum of Arts and Crafts (Croatia), and Matic Zorman – photographer (Slovenia).

Additionally, three more exhibitions have been organized: “Blue Eyes” by Bruna Kazinoti at CVA “Batana”, “Svemir” (“Space”) by Balazs Deim at the Italian Community, and “Kaligrafija predjela” (“The Calligraphy of Landscapes”) by Sonja Žugić at the Church of St. Thomas.
