in the distinguished setting of the Me\u0161trovi\u0107 Gallery in Split. Organised by the Croatian National Tourist Board, these awards are presented annually to journalists, bloggers, influencers, and media creators for outstanding publications promoting Croatia as a tourist destination. The Golden Pen Award is one of the most important recognitions in the field of tourism promotion, honouring individuals whose work contributes to Croatia\u2019s international visibility and reputation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">One of the unique features of this event is that it takes place in a different Croatian city each year. Accordingly, the design of the award is entrusted to a local artist whose work reflects the identity of the host destination. As this year\u2019s ceremony was held in Split, the honour and responsibility of designing the award was entrusted to Jak\u0161i\u0107 Gallery, which conceived and produced a unique stone plaque crafted from Bra\u010d stone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The award was designed by <a href=\"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/dina-jaksic-pavasovic\/\"><strong>Dr Dina Jak\u0161i\u0107 Pavasovi\u0107<\/strong><\/a>, academic painter, in collaboration with visual communication designer <a href=\"http:\/\/gopa.hr\"><strong>Goran Pavasovi\u0107<\/strong><\/a>. The award takes the form of an elegant square plaque carved from Bra\u010d limestone, a material that has symbolised Croatian architectural and artistic heritage for centuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Its shape references the geometric structure of the fields of the Croatian coat of arms while simultaneously creating a white surface that symbolises a sheet of paper\u2014the place where the written word is born and the foundation of journalism and authorship. As the central visual element, the designers created a distinctive symbol that combines the motif of a golden pen with the name of the award itself. This symbol is positioned on the white stone surface as the first letter of an imagined text.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">To further emphasise the idea of writing, horizontal relief lines were carved into the stone, representing lines of text. These relief elements, combined with gilded details, reinforce the symbolism of the award, while the minimalist design successfully connects contemporary visual expression with the rich cultural heritage of Dalmatia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The robust form of the plaque also evokes the monumental walls of Diocletian\u2019s Palace, one of the most significant monuments of ancient architecture in the Mediterranean, built from the same high-quality Bra\u010d limestone nearly two thousand years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The creation of this award is yet another confirmation of the value of Croatian stonemasonry craftsmanship and of the contemporary possibilities of Bra\u010d stone in design, art, and ceremonial awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We are particularly delighted that one of this year\u2019s recipients was filmmaker Christine Degan, who received the award for her documentary film about Bra\u010d stone and the Jak\u0161i\u0107 family. Her recognition further confirms the international interest in the stone-carving tradition of the island of Bra\u010d and the multi-generational contribution of the Jak\u0161i\u0107 family to preserving and promoting this valuable part of Croatian cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Through the creation of the Golden Pen Awards, Jak\u0161i\u0107 Gallery once again united art, design, and tradition, presenting Bra\u010d stone as a distinctive symbol of Croatian identity, exceptional craftsmanship, and contemporary Croatian design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Golden Pen Awards 2022 Crafted from Bra\u010d Stone by Jak\u0161i\u0107 Gallery The prestigious Golden Pen Awards ceremony was held in the distinguished setting of the Me\u0161trovi\u0107<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3755,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[49,51],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3746"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3746"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4882,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3746\/revisions\/4882"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerijajaksic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
