The Central and Eastern Europe area of the AEFE is organizing a photo contest open to all students from 4th grade to 12th grade. The contest will take place from September to mid-December 2023.
CONTEST THEME
The Olympic and Paralympic Games (OPG) will be held in Paris in 2024. In connection with this major event, the theme of school sports will be at the heart of the events organized by the AEFE next year (for example, the French Schools Week around the world).
The photos for the contest will have the general theme of “School Sports,” with a distinct sub-theme based on the age group of the students:
- “The Colors of Sports” for cycle 3 (CM1, CM2 et 6èmes)
- “Sports within a Frame” (the frame can be of any nature and/or shape) for cycle 4 (5èmes, 4èmes et 3èmes)
- “The Poetry of Sports” for high school (2ndes, 1ères et Terminales)
