3rd International Contest Stop Censorship
3rd International Contest Stop Censorship now is over!
In June 2010, the meeting of journalists of the Stop Censorship movement originated an idea to initiate the discussion about the danger of censorship for the wide audience. In that time, in the atmosphere of augmenting political pressure, journalists had to seek for new channels of communication to convey the message that censorship is not only the problem of journalists but of the whole society.
Violations of human rights are more frequent now, in the state of military conflict, and freedom of expression is one of them. Justifying its law initiative aimed at curtailing the freedom of speech by information aggression, the government continues its attempts to impose censorship. It brings a threat to democratic development of Ukraine. This is why the 3rd International Contest "Stop Censorship! Citizens for free countries" will be held under the slogan of Euromaidan "Human rights first".
In 2014 more than 400 works were submitted for participation in the Contest. They included 33 essays, 129 poems, 71 slogans and 180 images.
The works on the following topics are accepted:
• Protection of freedom of speech
• Fighting the censorship
In addition, you can enter works on the Special Theme, which this year is "Human rights first".
Each participant can submit unlimited number of works in different categories. You can submit your works in four languages: Ukrainian, Russian, English, and Crimean Tatar language.
There is no entry fee for this art competition.
On May 25, 2015 the juries of experts and human rights defenders will select the winners at a plenary meeting.
