Theme

The year 2017 has been declared the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development by the United Nations. Therefore the jubilee 45th edition of the competition will be dedicated to the theme of:

Travel

• I´m looking forward to the trip – going for the holidays, to the sea, abroad, my travel companion, what to pack
• How and which way to go – transportation and people connected with it, roads and paths, maps, GPS, borders
• The final destination – what I am planning to visit and what new I will experience – landscape, architecture, towns and cities, sights, national parks, points of interest, people and their language, different culture, local customs and food, accommodation
• Home sweet home – memories and travel tales, photos and souvenirs from the trip, why I love to return home
• Travel in other times – history of transportation, migration of people, travellers, conquerors, seafarers, adventurers, new means of travel, journeys into space
• A somewhat different journey
  • travel in art, paintings, literature, film and music
  • migration in nature
  • the road is the goal – nomads, vagabonds, tramps
  • virtual travel – travel in time, mind and fantasy
  • my dream trip

For older children

• globalisation in tourism, food exports
• freedom versus totalitarianism, restrictions on movement, escape, migration, exile
• my own way – journey as self-discovery, self-improvement, way to happiness, working towards one‘s own goals
