Take part via Instagram with your designs, illustrations, paintings, collages, animation or any form of visual art that can be reproduced in digital format.
Artists Miranda Makaroff, Ricardo Cavolo and Lara Lars and the museum’s Artistic Director Guillermo Solana selected the three best versions, who won prizes of 700 Euros and preferential passes for visiting the museum.
The prizes were awarded during a special opening night at the museum, on Saturday 11 May, when the best entries were on display. At the end of the event there was a live music performance by La Plata, a youthful "New Wave" group with a much appreciated powerful sound.
Discover all the submitted works on the hashtag #VersionaThyssen.
