New Year’s Eve in Krakow 2020/2021. Instead of the New Year’s Eve concert on the Main Square, we will say goodbye to 2020 … with audiovisual installations – Reads the Gazeta Krakowska news from 9/11/20
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, on December 31, 2020, there will be no New Year’s Eve concert at the Main Square in Krakow. The city authorities do not want to expose their inhabitants to contracting the disease. However, they decided to say goodbye to the old year in an artistic spirit – and organize a competition for New Year’s audiovisual installations that will decorate Krakow at that time.

- The Krakow Festival Office encourages all Krakow artists to take part in the competition for a review of audiovisual installations.
- Competition entries can be submitted by November 15th.
- The 10 best ideas will be presented on the last night of the old year in Krakow squares.
New Year’s Eve 2020 in Krakow with a walk of audiovisual installations
This year, safety is even more important to us than before. That is why we gave up on musical scenes and grand celebrations. Instead, we invite you to take a walk along the traces of art installations that will be located in different parts of the city. For now, we are not revealing the details of the entire evening and the great surprise that we are preparing on the Main Square, but we invite the entire artistic world of Krakow to prepare for this special night together!
– encourages Jacek Majchrowski, Mayor of Krakow.
According to the jury’s decision, each of the 10 winners will receive 10,000 PLN for the implementation of their idea. The aim of the competition enriching Krakow’s public space on New Year’s Eve is to promote visual arts as a field of culture and support local artists. It is also supposed to help popularize the visual arts by organizing an event of this kind, aimed at a mass audience.
