The five-member jury of the “Bright Horizons” competition selected the five winners whose works will adorn the facade of the National Palace of Culture between 8-11 May. With its architecture, the iconic capital building inspired the artists to explore its structure and relief so as to reimagine and give a new interpretation to its appearance.
The Bright Horizons competition is organised by MP-STUDIO, with the financial support of the Creation Programme of the National Culture Fund, as part of the fourth edition of the LUNAR Festival of Lights.
The five winners in the competition are:
- Kristina Milcheva, with concept: “Contours of faces and human silhouettes are transformed into an abstract landscape of identities”.
- Dimitar Spasov, with concept: “The Shared Night Moment” ignites a spark between glances in the starry night – a spark of love, warmth, and hope for a shared, colorful future”
- Henry Hu, with concept: “A coral reef from the future – a world where fragile nature thrives and coexists with technology, bringing hope and light”.
- Alex Dimitrov, with concept: “My concept depicts a landscape from the Mesozoic era. I have used bright colors to show the diversity of prehistory through my prism”.
- Teodorа Kotseva, with concept: “The sunflower, facing the sun (the viewers), brings light. The birds are a symbol of life and freedom, and the background is colorful, bringing a sense of movement, warmth, and optimism”.

- Ivo Chiflichki, Head of Marketing and Sales Department in the National Palace of Culture
- Maximilian Trapp, Project Manager, Festival of Lights International
