Introducing a new logo!
As part of the previous edition in 2024, we presented brand-new competition graphics, and now we are also unveiling a new logo that will become the symbol of the Kutná Hora International Competition. The logo is based on the emblem of the city of Kutná Hora and the symbol of the guitar. Extracted and graphically adapted fragments of these two symbols have created a new, original logo. As soon as you see this new symbol, you will know that it relates to the International Biennial Guitar Competition with Masterclasses Kutná Hora!
