2019
In 2019 the Czech Republic celebrates 30 years from Velvet Revolution. Let’s Write! celebrated as well. Last year themes were inspired by Václav Havel - first democratic president after the Fall of Communism and his well or less known quotes. We have received over a 100 stories from children all around the Czech Republic.
2018
2018 marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia. To commemorate this, our contest asked children to write about significant historic events of the 20th century. What would Masaryk have thought of Prague in 2018? What would it have been like to wake up to the rumbling of tanks in 1968? Children's authors transported their imaginations into the past and took on the challenge of authoring historic fiction.
