The “School Garden” project team announces the International Art Contest “Watermelon and His Friends”. We invite everyone who inspires this topic to create interesting reportage material to participate in it. Representatives of school teams who tell about their experience in watermelon study within the network experiment, and amateur vegetable growers who share their achievements in their garden plots, and those who want to play the role of a journalist, photo reporter or video director - tell about someone's success in growing watermelons or other crops. The competition is held among residents of three countries - Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova.

Contest participants are offered several options of a "watermelon" theme to choose from:

• Watermelon stories
• Watermelon in our (my) life
• How we raised watermelon
• Watermelon and his friends (free theme)

Works will be evaluated in four nominations:

• Article
• Reportage photography
• Reporting in social networks
• Video story

Works are accepted from June 15 to August 15, 2019. Summing up the competition and awarding the winners will be held during the holiday "Day of the Watermelon and His Friends", which will be held August 24-25 in Loyev. The winners, who will not be able to participate in the celebration, will receive prizes and diplomas by mail.
