On 15 April 2015 the award ceremony for the winners of the Czech EUSTORY Competition took place in the Town Hall in Prague. Forty-three participants submitted their works to this year’s topic “The Story of a Photograph - Memory and History in Front and Behind the Lens”. The award ceremony started with the opera singer Edita Adlerová who performed different creations written by George Gershwin. The awards were presented by the famous Czech actor Zdeněk Svěrák. The students also had the opportunity to talk to Ondrej Kolínský, Czech EUSTORY Alumni from 2009.
„All important historical events had their beginning in Prague,“ started the Czech writer and actor Zdeněk Svěrák his opening speech, giving the Defenestration of Prague in 1618 as an example. Svěrák may have exaggerated the role of Prague as the cradle of historical events a bit, but one thing is true: This ceremony on 20 February in Prague was the kick-off event for EUSTORY’s award ceremony season 2014.
The ceremonial announcement of the results of the 6th national round of the Eustory European history competition took place in Prague on September 26, 2012, in the conference hall of the main building of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
