Valuing the merits of wood and its extensive options of use in our everyday life, JSC "Latvia's State Forests" (LVM) invites everyone interested to take part in the exhibition of environmental objects "Let's Get Lost in the Trees" (Zūdam kokos). The works of the nature-inspired authors will complement the upcoming Positivus music festival to take place in mid-July. The deadline for submission of works - 16 May.

The contest works - art objects - should demonstrate the ways how wood is used in our life. "Wood is a unique product, which has a number of properties that make it a modern, practical, economical and above all environment and people friendly material," says Tomass Kotovičs, Head of LVM Communications Division. "Wood is the only widely available material, which is renewable, and this fact has an important role in reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources; therefore we will be happy to receive applications which foresee the use of environment-friendly materials, including at least one cubic metre of wood."

Application for the contest "Let's Get Lost in the Trees" is open until 16 May (inclusive); please send the works to the e-mail address: This email address is being protected from spambots.
