situations in which they experience humiliation, pain and suffering. The most touching works that appeared during the last three editions of the competition referring to contemporary images of enslavement arouse astonishment, surprise, and sadness and horror in the recipients. It is worth drawing the attention of future generations to the need to build respect and treat people equally, regardless of the differences that exist. Consequently, in this edition, we have decided to use the words of Marian Turski, spoken during the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, as inspiration for authors of artworks. These words still resonate strongly and are therefore worth recalling.
Young people over the age of 11 are encouraged to participate in the competition and are welcome to prepare works in various techniques and formats. Participation in the current edition is free of charge, which is also a key element for us, the organisers, as it allows more people to participate. Moreover, this year’s summary of the competition combined with the opening of an exhibition of the awarded, distinguished and qualified works will take place at the Auschwitz Memorial. We are convinced that such an exhibition at the Auschwitz Memorial will give it an additional symbolic dimension. The exhibition is also the result of excellent cooperation between the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and the Kossak Family Artists Youth Culture Centre No. 1 in Tychy.
