This year the festival is prolonged for two days. Bojan Stanojević, city manager, says that it will try to make it 7-day festival next year. The City Assembly will still support this festival.

Apatin’s Brewer organized the open competition among the students of Architectural Faculty for the looks of the stand of "Jelen" beer. The competition lasted for three montsh and the stand will soon be promoted.

Again this year, Tourism Organization of Belgrade will organize "hidden treasure quest " with even more valuable prizes and bigger number of participants. Every day, during the festival, the beer crates will be hidden on one of the locations at Kalemegdan. Five teams will leave the point of TOB, located in the Lower City, at 5 PM and start the search for ice refreshment that will be hidden inside the fortress. The participants will get the printed map of the fortress with the approximate location of the "treasure". The team with all three members reaching the spot where the beer is hidden wins. The photo of the winner will be put on the web site: www. belgradebeerfest. com. All interested can apply on email address: dveselinov@tob. co. yu, and if the organizer does not respond, that means that the application is late.
