Respect Between Generations and Gender
Representatives from Škoda Auto ocially presented
two vehicles to the Clown Doctors organisation this

Clown Doctors. The winning artwork was by -year-
old Filip Vejnar and -year-old Soe Siderasová.
Winners received a tablet with smart pen, and the
nalists were given gift packages from Škoda Auto.

public voted to select two winning designs that were
transferred onto the cars using professional foils. This

not only at supporting the charitable Clown Doctors
organisation but also at highlighting the importance
