Kopecká, M.: Barbara Petchenik Children World Map Competition in Slovakia. Kartografické listy, 2015, 23 (1).

Abstract: The Barbara Petchenik Award was created by the International Cartographic Association in 1993 with the aim to promote the creative representation of the world in graphic form by children. The children drawings are assessed according to the following criteria: a recognizable message, cartographic content, and the quality of execution. This paper presents the results of the national competition in Slovakia. The best entries will be displayed during the next ICA conference as part of the International Map Exhibition that will be held as part of the 27th International Cartographic Conference of the International Cartographic Association in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 23-28 August, 2015.
