On March 28, 2014 the Embassy of the Czech republic in Brussels organized the Prize Awarding Ceremony of the 41st International Children's Exhibition of Fine Arts Lidice. H. E. Mr. Ivo Šrámek, ambassador of the Czech Republic, conferred commemorative medal "Rose of Lidice" and Honourable Mention diplomas to the students from Cardijnschool, Anderlecht, Belgium for their collection of combined techniques on the theme „chocolate“.
In 2013 we commemorated the 10th anniversary of a global convention on protection of folk arts, crafts, ceremonies and traditional folk knowledge, the UNESCO Convention on Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage. To mark the anniversary of this extraordinary convention, the Czech Commission for UNESCO recommended dedicating the 41st International Children’s Exhibition of Fine Arts Lidice to the theme “Traditions and Heritage of My Country’s People”.
Out of 24,545 entries from 68 countries the panel of judges selected 1,391 entries to win awards including 269 medals. Out of 17,404 foreign entries 724 won prizes including 122 medals (94 medals to individuals and 28 medals to schools for their collections). The most medals were given to children from Bulgaria, Latvia, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine.
The 41st edition culminated with the exhibition of all awarded entries, which opened in the presence of many ambassadors as well as political and cultural figures of the Czech Republic at the Lidice Gallery in Lidice on 29 May 2013.
