SOLDIERS THROUGH THE EYES OF CHILDREN – this year’s 17th MOD Fine Art Contest for pupils and students has recorded a total of 1662 entries. This is the highest number of drawings and paintings over the past years. 183 schools and 6 individuals submitted their entries, from among which judges – namely service personnel, MOD civilians and artists – have chosen the best ones in the pupils and students categories, as well as giving one Honorary Recognition Award.
Children drew and painted servicemen and women as MWD handlers, paras, tankies and pilots, and as knights, princes and princesses in uniforms. This year the contest has recorded over 100 entries more than last year and twice as many as in 2016. The MOD is happy about childrenʼs growing interest in the soldiers’ service in favour of delivering Slovakiaʼs security and defence.
The more numerous pupils category saw a total of 1,221 works assessed. Dominika Ondrušová, of a primary school in Gelnica, placed 1st, followed by Olivér Szabó, of a primary school in Kráľová nad Váhom, and Marek Gašpar, of a primary school in Prešov. Winners of the pupils category were congratulated on by and received prizes from Minister Gajdoš and CHOD Lt Gen Zmeko at the Children’s Day with SVK Armed Forces event in Svidník on 2 June 2018.
With a total of 441 entries, the students category was won by Klára Billíková, of a primary school in Nitra, followed by Ivana Servická, of St Kalazanský Piarist Grammar School in Nitra, and Richard Pribeka, of a primary school in Kráľovský Chlmec.
All first-, second- and third-place finishers received €160, €130, €110, respectively, as well as getting diplomas and gifts. Judges presented Samuel Jacko, of a primary school in Trebišov, with the Honorary Recognition Award.
