This year’s Zsolnay Light Festival has attracted more than 100,000 visitors in Pécs, in southern Hungary, with a German team winning the festival’s international mapping competition, the organisers said.

Organised for the seventh time, the four-day festival that ended on Sunday featured the mapping of building facades on a total surface of 10,000sqms, light art installations along the 20 indoor and outdoor spots of the Route of Light, street art and circus productions, concerts and children programmes, they said in a statement.
