The Poznań for the Earth Concert was pronounced the Music Event of 2009 in a ranking organised by Radio Merkury and the daily paper, Głos Wielkopolski. Radiohead's show, together with NINE INCH NAILS and Jane's, was the event which the listeners and viewers appreciated the most. We are grateful for this distinction.

After four instalments of the competition, New Situations are undergoing a change. 2010 will abandon the competition formula. A constellation of artists, selected by Mika Grochowska, the project curator, and their creative communications produced especially for the Malta Festival, will comprise yet another attempt to discover and trigger new situations in urban space. In addition, the possibility of engaging the audience in dialogue is to become one of the key elements of the new NEW SITUATIONS.

"It was a fantastic year for music fans or, more precisely, a fantastic summer, because thanks to the Malta Foundation and the Poznań City Hall, we had the opportunity to see, at very short intervals from one another, some groups which are already legendary, albeit still light years away from their artistic retirement."

Thank you for your appreciation of our efforts.

2010 is strictly linked to the 20^th anniversary edition of the Malta Festival. Over the past nineteen years, the Malta has become a permanent feature of the cultural and public landscape of Poznań and has affected successive generations of viewers.

The Malta Foundation was awarded  with the Miszcz Roku 2009 prize for organizing a concert of the legendary Radiohead. The concert took place in August 2009 in Poznań Cytadela Park, as a part of Poznań for the Earth project. The patron of the prize is Aktivist magazine. The award was handed over on 4^th of December, during official gala of Nocne Marki 2009 plebiscite.

On 27 October 2009, the results of the Dobroczyńca Kultury Polskiej (Benefactor of Polish Culture) competition were announced. Grupa Żywiec S.A. won in the Sponsor category for providing financial support to the 19^th MALTA International Theatre Festival.

We are delighted to inform you that the Malta Festival has been nominated, as one of Poland's five tourist attractions, for the Golden Certificate of Polska Organizacja Turystyki (Polish Tourist Organisation, POT).

The 2^nd edition of the Nostalgia Festival Poznan is over. It was an unforgettable musical experience and also a visual one due to the presence of special effects in the colour purple. But let us start from the beginning... .
