“Contestants must be 6 to 13 years old. This is an ideal activity for individual students and community youth club members.
There is no limit in the number of book cover entries a school or a youth club can submit. Children from all over the world are invited to participate in the competition by the closing date of 20 April 2014.”
“Each participant should draw his/her book cover that illustrates the “Respecting Differences” theme. UNESCO considers that education is essential to strengthening the foundations of tolerance, reducing discrimination and violence, and learning to live together.
Education is vital to achieve these aims and cultivate respect for all people regardless of colour, gender, or national, ethnic or religious identity.
It is especially important to reach out to children and young people during their formative years, notably through educational materials and curricula.” ”The original copy of the cover should be sent to the office of the National Commission for UNESCO of your country at the latest by 20 April 2014.”
“Up to five drawings per age group (from 6 to 9 and from 10 to 13) will be selected by the National Commission of your country. Finalists at the national level will receive a UNESCO certificate. All of the national finalists will have a chance to enter the international round, where the drawings will be judged by an independent jury of experts. In May 2014, three drawings per age group will be selected by the jury at the UNESCO Headquarters. There will be 6 winners, and each of them will receive a UNESCO certificate and a UNESCO medal, AzerTAc reports.
