The theme “Levels in Our Minds” was selected by the Czech curator Helena Fenclová, who from more than 70 artworks by the Macedonian authors chose 47, and the main prize, a two-month stay in Paris which will be covered by the funds of the Macedonian Ministry of Culture, was given to Katerina Tanevska for her work “Between Two Red Lines”.

In the “guest” category artworks of artists from Serbia, Croatia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic were exhibited. The Czech Republic was represented by Jan Gemrot (oil on canvas “Romantic”), Martin Kocourek (“Heart” and “The Small Helmet” of metal) and Jan Samec (pastels on canvas “Green Memories”).
