The
competition is organized by the Committee on Tourism in cooperation with the
Hunarmand Association and the Academy of Arts and is aimed at turning the
national craft art into a modern souvenir for tourists.
The first
stage is held among designers from July 24 to August 16. The participants
present sketches and ideas of tourist souvenirs in 25 areas of national
handicraft art.
The second
stage will be held from August 20 to September 20 among artisans. At this
stage, finished products will be created based on the designs that became the
winners of the first stage. When evaluating, the main criteria will be the
quality of the product, national flavor, compactness and affordability.
The winners
