With great interest, the first municipal online contest on “Our Fragile Planet”, dedicated to Earth Day, ended on April 22, 2020. The competition was organized by the Municipality of Dolna Mitropolia through the Municipal Center for Extracurricular Activities in the village of Baikal, Bulgaria. The competition kicked off in a week after the announcement was made by the Ministry of Education and Science.

Apart from drawings received from the municipal kindergartens and schools, we also received many from the whole country. Participants came from Shumen, Varna, Plovdiv, Samokov, Sevlievo, Pleven. The total number of entries received was 52.

In the competition, we had 4 age categories: kindergartens, students 1st – 4th grade, students 5th – 7th grade and 8th – 12th grade. Participants sent photos of their works to the Municipal Center’s e-mail and these photos were posted on the official Municipal Center for Extracurricular Activities Facebook page.
