In 2022, the Geological Museum, in cooperation with the Koziołki European Satire Festival Foundation, hosted the Award Ceremony of the International Satirical Competition "Albert Einstein. Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy". The competition was organized to celebrate the 100th anniversary of awarding the Nobel Prize to Albert Einstein. The event was accompanied by a post-competition exhibition presented in the main hall of the Museum. Several hundred participants from 52 countries took part in the competition. The initiator of the competition - cartoonist Dariusz Łabędzki, was honored with the Eryk award granted by the Association of Polish Caricature Artists for organizing this competition.
