On the occasion of this year’s celebrations of the Czech national holiday, the Day of the Slavonic Missionaries Saints Cyril and Methodius, we announce, within the Days of the People of Goodwill, the 8th year of the art contest for all children from 6 to 11 years of age (attending primary schools in their 1st – 5th grades).

The adventurous journey of the two brothers, Cyril and Methodius, entered, in an undeletable way, into the culture of our nation. However, it can also inspire our present life and thus remind us of the riches of our ancestors, which we keep preserving.

The announcement of results: during the Days of the People of Goodwill at Velehrad on 4th July 2013

Evaluating committee: Adolf Born (chairman), Jan Jemelka, Vítězslav Koutník, Zdeňka Krejčová, Marek Trizuljak, Miroslava Trizuljaková, Martina Špinková, Jan Zemánek
