CROSSING EUROPE has hosted an annual window display contest for local shops since 2014, in which local shops, restaurants, salons and ateliers take part in creating a CROSSING EUROPE festival atmosphere in Linz. With creative and uniquely decorated window displays, Linz gets ready for the festival week. In the week before the festival, the displays in Linz become small stages where various ideas and mottos relating to film are approached in an artistic way. CROSSING EUROPE posters, postcards, bags, displays and more are used by the shops to create displays that highlight the festival throughout the city, welcoming international and regional audiences to the festival.
