Through the Krakow.pl portal, the city announced two competitions aimed at Kraków residents aged 60 and over. One concerns writing, the other painting. The detailed conditions, deadlines and submission methods are set out in the announcement published on the city portal. Below we present what is known about the competitions based on the information available.

In Brief

  • The competitions are addressed to Kraków residents aged 60 and over.
  • One of the competitions concerns writing, the other painting.
  • The source of the information is an announcement published on the Krakow.pl portal.
  • Competition names, deadlines, participation rules and prizes should be checked in the original announcement.

Two Forms of Creativity in One Announcement

The announcement published on Krakow.pl concerns two separate competitions. Each relates to a different form of creativity: the first to writing, the second to painting. As a result, people who prefer words and those who prefer the brush can find an offer matching their own interests.

Both competitions are addressed to the same group of recipients, namely Kraków residents aged 60 and over. A shared audience allows participants to compare the two invitations and choose the one that better suits their skills and plans. Other conditions of participation should be checked in the full text of the announcement.

Who Can Take Part

According to the information in the announcement, the target group is Kraków residents aged 60 and over. The competitions are therefore not open to all city residents, but only to people in this age category. The way age and place of residence are confirmed, and any additional requirements, should be checked in the original document.

Competitions of this type usually require reading the rules, which set out the terms of participation. The details of these rules have not been confirmed in this material and are therefore not quoted here.

People who are unsure whether they meet the criteria can first read the content of the announcement and only then decide whether to submit an entry. This approach helps avoid misunderstandings at the stage of assessing submissions and saves time for both participants and organisers.

Where to Find Full Information

The most reliable source is the announcement published in the news section of the city’s Krakow.pl portal. This is where the information worth having at hand before entering the competition can be found. Before the submission is prepared, it is good to note down the most important dates and requirements.

When reading, pay attention to the elements that determine whether a submission is correct. The exact wording of the provisions in the announcement always takes precedence over a press summary.

  • competition names
  • deadlines for submitting works
  • participation rules and formal requirements
  • assessment criteria and information about prizes

Note: Deadlines for submitting works, addresses, participation rules and prizes have not been confirmed in this material. Before preparing an entry, check the current announcement on Krakow.pl to make sure the information is up to date.

Writing and Painting as Forms of Activity

Creative activities are one of the forms of activity that can be pursued at any age. Writing requires above all observation and work with language, while painting calls for imagination and work with colour and form. Both disciplines allow people to express their own experiences and their view of the surrounding world.

For many people, taking part in a competition can be a first step towards regular writing or painting. The very act of preparing a piece of work can be a motivation for further creative activity, regardless of the result of the contest.

How to Prepare a Submission

Before starting work on a piece, it is worth reading the announcement from beginning to end and listing all formal requirements. This will help avoid a situation where the work is ready but does not meet the basic conditions of the competition. It is also good to check whether the submission deadline does not clash with other plans.

Before sending or delivering the submission, it is worth making sure that all documents are complete and consistent with the description in the announcement. Keeping a copy of the work and proof of sending may prove useful if the organiser has any questions.
