The jury, which included leading scientists of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, summed up the results of the national contest dedicated to the Year of Peace and Creation. 218 entries were named winners. The best will receive awards: diplomas and prizes.
"This is the third time we have held a national contest dedicated to the theme of the year. It has already become a tradition for us. This time, the theme is the Year of Peace and Creation. This year, more than 1,000 people from different parts of our country took part in the contest. These are mainly young people - children, schoolchildren and students, but there are also adults. The interest in the event was great. People sent us stories, poems, songs and arts and crafts. We have 7 nominations in which we will award the winners. We also launch an exhibition of the best works," said Vladimir Gusakov, Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
He stressed that the selection was tough, but each work was interesting in its own way.
"We will reward all the participants. It is also important that people respond very actively to such contests. For example, next year has been declared the Year of Quality, and we will also hold a contest on this topic, because this is a very important issue. I think that we will have as many participants and entries," Vladimir Gusakov added. “The contest is organized by the Academy of Sciences, and it is really very prestigious for many young people who plan to go into science. Thus, the contest also nurtures patriotism in young people and attract them to science."
