The Carpathian Heritage Society in cooperation with the Center for Education & Information of Bieszczadzki National Park and financial support from Polish Ministry of Environment organized an art competition "Green Carpathian Bridge". The aim of this competition was to draw young peoples' attention to natural and cultural values of the Carpathians as well as threats caused to them by human activities.
The competition was targeted mostly to the young people from primary and secondary schools from south-eastern Poland.

Every art-work could be submitted for the competition: photography, painting, sculpture, handicraft, and others relevant to any of the following categories:
1. Environment and culture of the Carpathians;
2. Threats to the Carpathians caused by human activities.
The competition aroused unexpected interest - we received over 1000 pieces of artwork. After examination of every single work, specially selected committee rewarded the best ones.
Rewarding ceremony accompanied by opening the exhibition took place in December 2000 in the Center for Education & Information of Bieszczadzki National Park in Lutowiska.
