The theme for 2010 is Biodiversity or Variety of Living Nature. For 2010, there were more than 25,000 entries received all over the world. In the Philippines, there were 14 schools who participated in the exhibition and 7 students were given the Honourable Mention for their artwork.

An awarding ceremony was held at the Czech Embassy Office on 7 December 2010. The participants were accompanied by their parents, art instructor and school principal. The diplomas were given by Ambassador Josef Rychtar. Ms. Trisha Reyes from St. Stephen’s Highschool received a special certificate for having been given an Honourable Mention for four years in a row.

            There was a friendly atmosphere during the ceremony. The group also got to know more about the Czech Republic. Hopefully for next year, there will be more participants from the Philippines. For more information, you may check the following website www.mdvv-lidice.cz.
