For the third year in a row, we continue with the LegendArt project in Istrian and \u0160ibenik-Knin counties where LegendFest is held. This year, 130 art and literary works of students from total of 14 schools have been submitted for the competition, allowing the students to creatively express their vision of the characters, stories and myths of their region. We are particularly pleased that students of Zadar and Osijek-Baranja County joined us with their artwork as well.
