The theme of this year's ICEFA Lidice was "DANCE", which inspired 16,416 young artists from 83 countries to submit their works. After careful consideration, the international jury awarded 1,356 prizes, including 187 medals.

The Lidice Gallery will open its doors on 1 June to display the outstanding artworks. The traditional ceremony will include the presentation of the prestigious "Lidice Rose" medals to children from the Czech Republic and the announcement of the jury's awards. This event marks the culmination of ICEFA Lidice 2023 and showcases the incredible talent that has emerged from around the world.

Although the exhibition will take place in the Lidice Gallery, the reach of ICEFA Lidice extends far beyond the borders of the country. In collaboration with Czech embassies and consulates, awards will be presented to participants from around the world in autumn-winter 2023.

Looking ahead to the future of artistic expression, we cordially invite Cambodian children and teachers to participate in the 52nd ICEFA Lidice 2024. This prestigious competition, one of the largest in the world, will be dedicated to the theme "CARAVAN" in recognition of the United Nations International Year of the Camel and the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Universal Postal Union. The Embassy of the Czech Republic looks forward to witnessing the artistic exploration of young talents from Cambodia in the upcoming competition. To submit artwork or for more information, please contact us at children@lidice-memorial.cz.

Our sincere congratulations to all the winners and participants of the MDVV Lidice 2023 competition, which is not only a competition but also a celebration of diversity, creativity and the universal language of art. The Embassy of the Czech Republic would like to thank all Cambodian participants, parents and teachers for contributing to the success of ICEFA Lidice 2023. We look forward to the further cooperation that awaits us at ICEFA Lidice 2024.
