In the invitation to the
competition, prospective participants were asked to make
artistic in textile materials and textile techniques, and
to display a certain transparency.
405 artists from 37 countries submited portfolios to the
2000 competition, an important platform for artists. The
most expressive works then had to be selected from among
744 contributions. This was done by a panel of judges
that was made up of international experts. The exhibition
now consitst of 36 works by 34 artists, alongside
individual works by Betty Boulez-Cuykx, who is herself an
artist. The 5th Betonac Prize again envinces high
artistic standarts.
The selected works could first be seen in the provincial Beguine church of Sint Truiden from 23 September to 29 October 2000, where the prizes were also awarded.
