The contest is a joint initiative of two associations the ?Confraternita dei Tiratardi? and the ?Lignano nel terzo millennio? whose main aim is supporting the development of cultural and recreational activities.
This contest blows like a breath of fresh air in the hot Lignano summer: competitors will not only present their own experience, but they will also show Lignano through their own eyes, they will share the same point of view with the audience.
Beside enjoying these short art works, people will also be given a chance to infer a lot about what Lignano is and about what it could become according to the coming generation of tourists. An exciting idea for tourists, this contest represents then also a good opportunity for the city to think about itself, which on the one hand means leaving itself open to possible criticism, but on the other hand is a unique chance to get a couple of new ideas to be implemented in the future.
