The International Visual Arts Contest "The music and dances of my people" is organized by the Municipality of Montana, Bulgaria. It is an event within the International Festival of Wind Orchestras, dedicated to the famous Bulgarian composer Diko Iliev. The visual arts contest is held every even year. Each separate edition of the contest has a different subject. The thematic focus is defined by the organizers as an additional subtitle to the already popular title of the contest "The music and dances of my people".
