In 1996 the Kapos Art Fine Arts and Applied Arts Association created a contemporary International Grotesque Fine Arts and Applied Arts Collection from the offerings of the participating artists. We would like to expand this collection, and we would like to request that if you want to offer your artwork, please state this both on the back of the artwork and on the application form. Selections from the collection were exhibited at the Contemporary Hungarian Gallery / Villa Vermes of Dunaszerdahely (Dunajská Streda) and in the Ţării Crişurilor Museum of Nagyvárad (Oradea) recently.

Wishing you a successful creative work,
The Organizing Body of the 11th International Grotesque Competition
