An International competition of scientific and creative works dedicated to the Holodomor will be held for the third time during the full-scale invasion of Russia. The competition honours the memory of the Ukrainian writers – Volodymyr Maniak (1934–1992) and Lidia Kovalenko (1936–1993). They devoted themselves to the implementation of a large-scale project – the collection of oral testimonies and the deployment of experiments on the history of the Great Famine of 1932–1933.
The theme of the 2024 competition is «Me, my family and my country: the memory of the Holodomor and a look at Russia’s modern war against Ukraine through the lens of personal experience». Pupils of secondary schools, students, postgraduate students, academics and researchers under the age of 35 are invited to participate.
Works will be accepted until October 28, 2024. Summing up and announcing the winners is scheduled for the last week of November.
The winners in the nominations will receive diplomas, an invitation to the solemn award ceremony in Kyiv, and cash prizes for further research of the Holodomor.
