On the cosebellefestival.it website the concept of the contest can be easily read and the positive and optimistic vibes can be felt. During this difficult and unusual year everyone has been forced to stop and put his life on hold due to an uncertain future. And now? Since we are aware that everything is still changing, this is the right moment to move on and make room for new vibes and good things: it is time for a regeneration. This term indicates ribirth and change, transformation and redemption. It is a promise of hope. It is a chance that we all have to meditate and think about ourself. It is what comes just after resilience. It is the oxygen that we breath after we have resisted. It is our inner energy needed to overcome our limits, in order to look to the future with hope.

Cose Belle Illustration Contest approached the Digital Platform in 2017 for the first time organized by Associazione Interazioni Creative that obtained great achievements worldwide thanks to its expertise and creativity. Infact, in the 2019 edition, 222 illustrators from 14 different Countries took part in the Contest giving to Cose Belle Illustration Contest an international significance. Every exhibition can be seen on the digital version on the cosebellefestival.it website.
