AWARD COMPETITION "LIVING IN THE ERA OF THE CORONA: HOW DID YOU SPEND YOUR TIME IN ISOLATION?”

The Red Cross of Serbia, in cooperation with the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality, invites male and female citizens of Serbia, especially those over the age of 65, to apply for the competition "Life in the Era of the Corona: How Did You Spend Your Time in Isolation?" During the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of people spent a great deal of time in isolation. This competition is an opportunity for our citizens to describe in a creative way, through an essay or a poem, how they organized their lives in isolation, what activities they undertook, as well as to express their thoughts and feelings while they were in isolation.

The best works will be printed in a book entitled "Life in the Era of the Corona: How Did You Spend Your Time in Isolation?", while the top ten works will be awarded.

An expert jury will decide about the works. The awards will be given at a ceremony that will be held in October.
