In April, International Watercolor Society (IWS) announced the winners of an art contest dedicated to Azerbaijan. 

The project was co-organized by the State Art Gallery, IWS Azerbaijan and the Khatai Arts Centre with the support of the Culture Ministry and the Azerbaijani Artists' Union. 

The project is aimed at increasing the interest in graphic works and watercolour paintings. 

Graphic and watercolour painters were invited to show their patriotic artworks inspired by the bravery of the National Army. The artworks of young artists left no one indifferent.

The winners in the watercolour competition included Hafiz Karimov, Fatma Kilich and Feyzi Mammadov. Meanwhile, Elmir Mammadov, Gunel Guliyeva and Abulfaz Farajoglu showed their best in graphic art. 

All the winners were awarded cash prizes.

The winning works are kept in the fund of the Khatai Arts Centre.
