10th students literary competition

SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč has commenced the 10th literary competition for high school and university students. Narratives, compositions and essays on the theme of “2014 – A YEAR OF IMPORTANT HISTORICAL JUBILEES: THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SLOVAK NATIONAL UPRISING AND THE CARPATHO-DUKLA OPERATION, AND THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEGINNING OF WWI” need to be forwarded to sutaz@mod.gov.sk, with 11 November 2014 as the final deadline. The SVK MOD’s panel of judges will evaluate the writings in two categories, choose the best ones, and release them on the SVK MOD’s facebook page during the period from 20 to 27 November 2014. The winners will be announced after a public vote. The prize for the first places in both categories is set at 400€, for the second places 300€, and for the third places 200€. The papers of arbitrary prosaic or belles lettres genres are expected to contain between 500 and 750 words and should be sent in the .doc, .docx or .odf formats, together with the personal data of respective authors (including the author’s first name, surname, age, school, telephone number). By sending the papers, the competitors agree with the public release of their works, without their personal data being disclosed on the SVK MOD’s facebook page.
