L'Ex-Libris Français: CONCOURS D'EX-LIBRIS en BULGARIE

Dear Sirs,

We are the Lyuben Karavelov Regional Library from Ruse, Bulgaria.

The Library was founded in 1888.

The Ruse library is organizing an International Competition for Exlibris for the 11th time.

Last year's theme of the contest intrigued many artists, so this year we decided to issue a theme "Ex Libris - Ex Heriditate".

This competition gives to all participants an opportunity to show, by the means of the exlibris art, their very own perspective towards the cultural heritage.

Over 2000 items are in the Ruse Library collection.

You can find all works at: http://www.libruse.bg/image/tid/22

We trust that you will be interested in this competition.

Should you want any further details, I am at your complete disposal
