Leszek Tybon just Skyped to say that a competition is being organized for students of the high school in Opatów. Teodora Pawelko Kwiatkowska came up with the inspired idea that students should take a photo or paint small pictures of a current view of places in Opatów that Mayer painted. The award presentation is scheduled for 19th October, 2008. Mayer has been asked to lend his name as Honor Auspices to the competition. The competition is being organized by a terrific team: Miroslaw, Teodora, Malgorzata, and Darek. We are very excited.
