Art Competition – “My Christmas Story”
On 8 December 2025, the University of Applied Sciences in Nysa hosted the award ceremony for the second edition of art competition entitled “My Christmas Story”. The competition, addressed to children from public and private kindergartens in Nysa, was organised by students from Preschool and Early School Education at University of Applied Sciences in Nysa. The event was attended by over 200 preschoolers from Nysa institutions, accompanied by their guardians. The event was honoured by the presence of His Magnificence Rector of University of Applied Sciences in Nysa, PhD Mariusz Kołosowski, Prof. Beata Szymczakowska, Director of the Municipal Education Authority in Nysa. On behalf of the Faculty of Social Sciences, we hosted Dean PhD Professor Tomasz Drewniak and PhD Małgorzata Przepiórka-Kapusta.
To make the ceremony more festive for the children, the competition was accompanied by an artistic performance prepared by students, including a theatrical story about “The land of Ice and Baubles”, combined with dance and vocal-instrumental performances, involving the children in interactive participation in the show. All children participating in the ceremony received Christmas gifts prepared by the students.
The meeting organised by University of Applied Sciences in Nysa is the result of educating students in the following subjects: “Stimulating child development through art and construction activities” and “Stimulating child development through theatre and drama”. After the artistic part, the results of art competition were announced. The art competition “My Christmas Story” aimed to develop creativity and promote the magic of Christmas in the eyes of children. The themes of the works included Christmas motives such as Christmas trees, presents, Santa Claus and stars in the sky. All the works, created in A4 format using various techniques, captivated with the creativity and commitment of their young creators. The competition jury, consisting of Dr. Maria Huchrak, MA Andrzej Jaorski, Nikola Wysopal and Ewa Sokołowska, decided to award three main prizes:
1st place: Hania Murzyniak from Kindergarten No.12 in Nysa
2nd place: Emilia Borkowska from Kindergarten No.14 in Nysa
3rd place: Emilia Głowacz School and Kindergarten Complex in Koperniki
The winners received wonderful prizes, but all children who took part in the competition also received commemorative gifts and diplomas. Congratulations to all young artists for their creativity and beautiful works! After the official part, the children and their guardians visited an art exhibition presenting all the competition entries. Participants also enjoyed additional attractions in the form of stands full of surprises and creative activities, and Olaf the snowman, one of the characters from the show posed for photos. Thank you all for participating and helping to organise this extraordinary event! Special thanks go to the students of University of Applied Sciences in Nysa, who put a lot of work into preparing the competition and the celebrations. A day full of joy and the magic of the festive spirit will remain in our memories for a long time.
