Expedition Cultural Heritage has been very busy! A total of 29 contributions were submitted to the competition to find local cultural treasures. All were incredibly exciting and it was a great challenge for the jury to select 10 winners, who were immortalized with a painting and celebrated at the vernissage during Rural Week on May 8th.
Over 40 people came to the vernissage at Folkets hus in Alvesta and it became an incredibly good cultural exchange when the winners got to share their contributions with each other and the visitors.
We thank again all who submitted their local cultural heritage as contributions to our competition and give a big congratulations again to the following winners:
- Svänamassens cave (Alvesta municipality)
- Komstad mill (Sävsjö municipality)
- The light woman in Kalvsvik (Växjö municipality)
- Esters bread (Ljungby municipality)
