The Kosovo Art Gallery exhibition

The website of the Kosova Art Gallery , within the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports of Kosovo, presents an exhibition of "Symbols of Kosovo", held in the Gallery from 27 February 2007 until, presumably, the next exhibition opened on 9 March 2007. Since the official contest for the new symbols was issued by the Assembly of Kosovo only in June 2007, these proposals, I guess, would not be disqualified per se, as the contest rules prohibit publication after the sending of the proposals, not before. One would guess that at least some of the artists shown there sent their ideas to the contest as well.
All the flags are shown with the same proportions, 5:7, matching the proportions of the national flag of Albania.

The proposals are shown below with the number they were given in the original source (page no longer online).
