Mgr. art. Juraj Starovecký, who is a photographer, also visited this ceremonial as he presents his works named Guten Tag in the aula of our Grammar School. His photos focus on the life of ordinary-extraordinary people.
We believe that 18th volume will be successful and the dust of lava, by which the event was baptized, will stimulate young people in creativity to keep the fire of fantasy forevermore.
