Each participant of this stage will receive PLN 3,000 - says the ZTM press spokesman, Mr Michał Wawrzaszek. - Laureates will be next requested to prepare visual identification of premises serving our passengers every day. The author of the winning design will receive a proposal to prepare the final visualisation. Then we will be talking about an amount of approx. PLN 50,000 - supplements Mr Wawrzaszek.

The applications and competition entries should be submitted electronically to the address kancelaria@metropoliaztm.pl or by traditional mail to the transport organiser’s office. 14 June is the deadline for portfolios submission. Decisions on stage one and two winners will be made consecutively on 28 June and 30 September this year, respectively. In the finals the jury will evaluate the submitted designs in terms of their functionality, aesthetics, and ergonomics. The final preparation of visual identification designs has been planned for 16 December.
