Press release – “Warsaw with class – a trip with Maria” – post-competition exhibition
She finished The 2nd edition of the competition for primary school students took place, which this year was held under the name "Warsaw with class - a trip with Maria" and took into account the context of the 155th anniversary of the birth of Maria Skłodowska-Curie.
The competition committee has already assessed and recognized the work of students from class Vc from the Primary School with Integration Departments No. 21 named after Henryk Sienkiewicz in Gliwice as the best. The high assessment took into account the comic book form of the work, the author's texts and the extremely careful, original execution.
Since there was only one main prize and over 80 works were submitted, we decided together with the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum that some of them would be presented in the museum's partner premises at ul. Freta 16.
The opening of the post-competition exhibition will take place on April 22, 2022 at the aforementioned museum, and the works will be available for viewing until April 30, 2022
The competition was announced for the second time by the Warsaw Tourist Organization in March this year, and its aim, similarly to last year, was to popularize school trips to Warsaw among organizers, teachers, children and their parents.
"We want this form of city promotion to become a permanent part of our association's activities. We see how much interest it generates and how it helps build a strong position for Warsaw for the segment of children and youth. We only regret that we cannot allocate a larger pool of prizes, because the works we receive are extremely creative, funny and are created as a joint team effort. They therefore have advantages that are worth cultivating among the youngest group of our recipients. – says Barbara Tutak, president of the association.
The prize for the winning class will be a three-day school trip to Warsaw organized by the association.
The great interest in participating in this year's edition of the competition resulted from the promotion of the competition in SM, thanks to which it was possible to achieve:
- over 260k post views,
- over 128k total reach,
- over 6 thousand redirects to the competition page.
Additionally:
- the regulations have been downloaded over 808 times,
- the application form was downloaded over 206 times,
- the poster has been downloaded over 335 times since the campaign began discoverwarszawe.pl, which included information about the second edition of the competition, was visited by almost 10 thousand users.
- 83 works were submitted for evaluation.
Assuming that the class has an average of 15 people, over 1,200 students familiarised themselves with information related to the life of Maria Skłodowska-Curie in Warsaw and with descriptions of the city’s tourist attractions.
These are the measurable effects of our competition “Warsaw with class – a trip with Maria”.
There was only one main prize, but we believe that the exhibition organized together with the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum is also a great distinction for the works submitted to the competition. – adds Tutak.
We cordially invite you to see the selected works that will be presented from tomorrow in the museum at Freta 16!
