More information about the contest rules is available on the company's website.
Winners in each age group and each category will receive money prizes. The organizers increase the prize fund every year as the number of participants is constantly growing. In 2016, school students sent in 150 creative works. In 2020, their number reached 353.
Last year Sergei Kondra became the absolute winner of the contest. The boy made a cartoon, using plasticine figurines to tell the story of receiving the keys to the new apartment. He implemented the whole idea from beginning to end by himself, even guiding his mother, who acted as a cameraman.
“At that moment we had just moved into a new apartment, so the idea came up very quickly,” Olga shared her impressions.
Winning the competition inspired her son to continue pursuing the hobby. Sergei spent the prize money on a notebook and started actively filming and editing videos. As a result, he participated in and won several other contests, including international ones.
“Such competitions help bond families, friends, classmates. Kids come up with ideas, then support each other and feel proud if they win,” Olga believes.
Her son's victory inspired Olga to take lessons in editing and take part in the My DANA contest of photos and essays, eventually winning it.
All editions of the Easter in Minsk World competition have brought together more than 1,500 children. The collection of works of the competition is available here.
Every year the Easter art contest takes place in 17 countries where Dana Holdings works. The organizers are intent on exploring the artistic potential of children and helping them implement the most daring ideas.
The multifunctional complex Minsk Word, which has been recognized Europe's largest civil engineering project, has become the key hero of the contest in Belarus. Not only adults but children as well will live here in comfort.
