The five judges had a difficult but enjoyable task to choose between 23 well-written and carefully researched entries with a wide range of ideas. The judges hope that all the younger competitors will try again for the Awards in 2023/24.
In view of the coronavirus pandemic the winners can now take up their prize and undertake their journey at any time in 2020 or 2021.
The prize money will be held in the Gybon bank account and the winners can apply to Headmaster Jan Šterba for their prize when travel to the UK is possible again.
It is hoped that the Awards Ceremony where the British Ambassador in Prague Nick Archer, will present certificates of achievement to all the competitors can go ahead on May 28. If not, the ceremony will take place in September.
The judges send their thanks and congratulations to all the competitors for their interest and enthusiasm and to all the members of the English Department for their support for the students.
Special thanks are due to Pavel Adámek for all his hard work in organising the competition at Gybon.
The next competition will be announced in September 2023.
