Magadan Kids Invited to Uncle Stepa the Policeman Art Contest
A regional children's creative competition has launched in the Magadan Region as part of a nationwide event. Titled Uncle Stepa the Policeman, it marks the Year of National Unity in Russia and the 90th anniversary of the State Traffic Inspectorate (GIBDD). Over 1.2 million children across the country have already taken part in past editions of the contest.
The initiative is organised by the Main Directorate of the Russian Interior Ministry for the Magadan Region. Young participants aged 6 to 14 are invited to submit their original, handmade works by April 10.
The competition welcomes creative entries that depict Internal Affairs officers or explore themes linked to national unity and the GIBDD's 90-year history. Submissions can be made using any materials, with no restrictions on size. Each entry must include a completed application form with the child's personal details and a contact phone number.
All materials sent in will not be returned or reviewed after the judging process. Winners will have their works forwarded to the Russian Interior Ministry. Submissions should be delivered in person or by post to 9 Dzerzhinsky Street, Magadan, at the Public Relations and Information Department.
For further details, participants can call 69-67-19, 69-64-90, or 69-66-53. The full rules and additional information are available online via the provided link.
In previous years, regions such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Swerdlowsk, Tatarstan, and Novosibirsk saw particularly high participation. Organisers hope to see similar enthusiasm from young artists in Magadan this time around.
The deadline for submissions is April 10, with all entries judged on originality and adherence to the competition's themes. Winning works will progress to the national level, joining those from other Russian regions. The event continues a long-standing tradition of engaging children in creative projects linked to law enforcement and public service.
