Our Homeland / Our Soil: A Competition for You!

In response to the positive experience of last year's pilot project "Power of Soil", FORUM LAND launches an initiative for the rural area and its inhabitants, namely the campaign "Our Homeland - a Place for Feeling Good".

Children and teenagers are invited to intensely and creatively deal with their familiar surroundings and soil, upon which they live, and to express their feelings and experience in an artistic and creative manner, in drawings or photos. They are invited to narrate something about basic values, which have for a long time shaped our society, and which have to be redefined now, by the youth!

If you are a pupil or a student at a Lower Austrian educational institution, you may also participate in this competition.

The pupils of elementary school and the pupils up to the 8^th form are kindly asked to create a drawing or a picture (size A3), and to send it to us by mail.

The pupils and students starting from the 9^th form are kindly invited to send us a photo of a place where they feel at ease, or a photo composition of more than one place where they feel at ease, possibly with a short slogan. We accept photos, edited photos and photos with short text elements.
