Třebíč - In the architectural and artistic competition for the design of a new fountain in Třebíč's Karlovo náměstí, 27 proposals have been submitted. The judging committee will convene for the first time on Friday, Třebíč city architect Jaroslav Hulín informed ČTK. The competition was organized by the city hall in cooperation with the Czech Chamber of Architects.

The prize for the winner of the competition is 80,000 crowns. In total, the city wants to distribute 200,000 crowns in prizes among the competitors.

Třebíč has been intensively preparing the revitalization of Karlovo náměstí for the last three years in connection with the necessity to replace the utility networks under the square.

Deputy Mayor Marie Černá (Třebíč my home) previously stated that the city would like to know the winner of the competition by mid-year. However, according to Hulín, the announcement date has not yet been set.
