Relatively Iarge number of students from academies of art and departments of visual art represented, too. The 1st place in the competition won Professor Karol Ondreička, the second was placed by Marián Čapka, and Júlia Piačková was on the third place. This year Easter issue is based on the stamp design placed on the 1st place.
