The Hungarian Countryside National 56 Organization announces a creative competition "What does 1956 mean to me?" with title.

The objective of the tender is to carry on the spirit of 1956 and to cherish the memory of the heroes of 1956. We believe that the introduction of our national past, the education of patriotism, takes place not only within the walls of our institutions and public spaces, but also in homes.

The range and categories of applicants:
- Senior primary school student
- Secondary school student

1. Read! Talk! Get inspired by the 1956 revolution and freedom struggle! Do you know someone who personally experienced the events of the revolution? Is it one of your grandparents or an acquaintance? Feel free to ask! Do you like to read? There are countless works of fiction that deal with this topic. We are also sure that the teachers also have a lot of information about this event. Talk about 56!

2. Create! Could you write what 56 was like for you? Would you share with others what your grandparents and great-grandparents went through? Would you write a poem? Would you tell it in a drawing, or would you rather paint a picture of the events? Do you feel that a photo or video would best express what you think of 56? Whatever technique you choose - short story, poem, fairy tale, drawing, painting, collage technique, digital drawing, photo, video, etc. - feel free to apply! We look forward to your work!

3. Your parents should send your work or a photo of it - or if you are over 14, you can send it yourself with their permission - to the following e-mail address: 1956nekem@gmail.com

4. Monitor your e-mail account at the specified time!

Written assignments can be written by hand or by type. Please send handwritten applications and works made with other techniques to the e-mail address 1956nekem@gmail.com with a photo.

Don't forget to enter your name and whether you go to primary or secondary school during the internship or application. Don't forget to indicate what grade you are in!
