The project is aimed at fostering patriotism through the formation of a local identity by creating art objects that personify the city.

Creators can send an application for participation right now, filling out the form and attaching a sketch of your art object to it. The jury members will carefully study all submitted works and select the top five finalists. In June, they will receive everything they need to create models of art objects and begin to translate their ideas into reality, after which they will come to Sevastopol to feel the spirit of the city and take part in the festival itself, during which the results of the competition will be summed up. The two winners of the project will receive an equipped workshop, assistants and funds for the production of life-size art objects.

In 2021, 120 sketches were sent to the «Cultural Code of Sevastopol» competition. The finalists were 10 works, the authors of which visited the city and were imbued with its incredible atmosphere.
