Pivka 2023 – 15. Festival Svet v Malem
On Saturday 13.5. Marko and I headed to Slovenia to participate again in the model making competition in Pivka. The 15th Svet v Malem festival was held again this year at the Museum of Military History in Pivka, and that environment again proved to be perfect for such a competition and gathering. This year's Festival of Miniatures SVM 2023 also left a good impression. This time the museum exhibits were less interesting to me than the competing models, but there were also exhibits in the museum collection that I now had a first look at or better. I'll have to come sometime when it's not SVM and see everything the Museum has to offer.
The weather was generally gloomy and rainy, but that didn't bother her at all, the indoor space at this festival was interesting and spacious enough to have something to do and see. And at the same time meet again with old and new friends!
In the closed spaces we could also see the presentations of various clubs and associations.
The workshops and presentations were interesting, so I'm very sorry that I didn't get to see them all, but there was so much going on that I had to decide and organize it. The offer of models and tools was also large and rich, so there was something to look at and "weigh" between another model or a pizza on the way home.
The competition was well organized and prepared as usual. A large number of exhibits and competitors could not be seen and visited in just one pass. Also, a significant number of visitors made it difficult to move, but not so much that it would be irritating.
As last year, we awarded the Best of Show award in the choice of UMS Agram members. This time, the prize went to our Slovenian friend Anže Zorko for his impressive diorama of inline hockey players on the deck next to the helicopter named KHL.
In the end, we were also delighted by the fact that our Marko won two medals.
