The way of awarding the prizes depends on accepted practices and possibilities of staffs of the respective embassies (or perhaps Czech centres) – winners are often invited to visit the embassy where the ambassador awards them prizes personally, or visiting the school, the ambassador grants prizes directly in the school, or if long distances are involved the prizes are sent out to children by mail.
