Based on a signed agreement the work will become property of the Glass Museum in Kamenický Šenov, which has long been professionally engaged in engraved glass, both in the Czech and international context. These new works will be added to its already extensive collection of works created at International Symposium of Engraved Glass.Candidates will be nominated by a professional jury and invited on the basis of an open call to send filled-in applications and necessary documents.
