Invitation for Children to Participate in the 43rd International Children’s Exhibition of Fine Art Lidice 2015



Dear children, dear teachers

Please accept our invitation to participate in the 43rd International Children’s Exhibition of Fine Arts Lidice 2014, which was established in 1967 to commemorate the child victims from the Czech village of Lidice, who had been murdered by German Nazis, as well as other children who had died in wars. Although national initially, this exhibition became an international one in 1973 and since then it has become well known among children and teachers not only in the Czech Republic but literally all over the world. Thanks to good co-operation with the Embassies of the Czech Republic abroad we have had over 25,000 entries from upwards of 60 countries of all continents in recent years.

Hoping you will find an inspiration in this year’s theme, we are looking forward to your entries.



Mgr. Ivona Kasalická, Curator of ICEFA Lidice
ORGANIZERS:

The Lidice Memorial under the auspices of

Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic

Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports of the Czech Republic

THEME:

As the year 2015 has been proclaimed International Year of Light by the UN, the Czech Commission for UNESCO has recommended dedicating the 43rd ICEFA Lidice 2015 to the same theme.

May you be enlightened!
