Thousands flocked to the picturesque Austrian town of Pörtschach am Wörthersee last weekend for the 19th annual World Bodypainting Festival.  Held from 1st – 3rd July, as well as pre- and post-competition events, the WBF is the world’s largest bodypainting event.  With 30,000 visitors from around the world, the festival had more than enough to offer in the form of art, creativity and a huge variety of music programs.
