On 7 June 2025, the second edition of the Czech Street Party took place in front of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Ulaanbaatar. The event was organised on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of Czech-Mongolian diplomatic relations. The programme also included the official award ceremony for the 52nd edition of the International Children's Exhibition of Fine Arts Lidice. The awards were presented to the children on stage by the Czech Ambassador, Mr Jan Vytopil.
The International Children's Exhibition of Fine Arts Lidice (ICEFA Lidice) is a single-round competition intended for children aged 4 to 16, from all types of schools and organisations working with children. Individual participants may also enter the competition. Every year, a professional panel composed of art teachers and visual artists selects approximately 1,400 works for exhibition. Honourable Mentions are awarded to distinguished entries, and the very best works receive the Lidice Rose Medal. Since 2004, the main organiser of the exhibition has been the Lidice Memorial, with support from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, and the Czech Commission for UNESCO. Since 2013, the exhibition has also been held under the auspices of Czech Centres.
During the Czech Street Party on 7 June 2025, four Mongolian pupils were awarded Honourable Mentions and received their diplomas in person from Ambassador Jan Vytopil. The awarded children were:
Batkhuyag Tserendorj
Nomin-Erdene Ganzorig
Tuguldur Enerel
