The Constitutional Court hosted a solemn award ceremony for the winners of the national children’s contest “The Constitution in Children’s Creativity”, dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the country’s Basic Law.

The contest was open to school students aged 12 to 15. Participants came from all regions of the country, submitting 169 works in various artistic techniques. The most active participants were from Pavlodar, Kostanay, Karaganda, Akmola, and Aktobe regions, as well as from Astana.

The contest was dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, adopted on August 30, 1995. Its goal was to raise legal awareness among minors, promote the Basic Law, encourage creative reflection on the rights, freedoms, and duties of a citizen, and foster respect for the Constitution.

The contest was organized by the Constitutional Court, the Ministry of Education, and the UNICEF Office in Kazakhstan.

The judging panel included representatives of the Constitutional Court, the Ministry of Education, UNICEF in Kazakhstan, the Union of Artists of Kazakhstan, and the School of Arts No. 2 of the Astana City Akimat. The selection of the best works was carried out remotely in electronic form, using evaluation sheets, which ensured objectivity and transparency of the process.

As a result, 30 works by children were recognized as the best. The winners were: Araylym Spandiyar (15, Almaty, 1st place), Anastasia Babenko (14, Kostanay, 2nd place), and Aisha Mukhamedzhan (12, Kyzylorda, 3rd place). The Constitutional Court hosted the official award ceremony for the authors of the best works and the winners (in both offline and online formats).

Chairperson of the Constitutional Court Elvira Azimova, Head of the UNICEF Office in Kazakhstan Rasheed Mustafa Sarwar, Commissioner for Children’s Rights Dinara Zakiyeva, and Representative of the Commissioner for Human Rights in Astana Bayan Zhalmagambetova congratulated the winners, whose works were recognized as the best by the competition jury.

Head of UNICEF in Kazakhstan Rasheed Mustafa Sarwar emphasized the importance of the initiative: “For UNICEF, it is especially valuable to support projects that allow children not only to develop their talents but also to gain a deeper understanding of their rights.”

The winners, who came to Astana with their parents, were also able to visit a number of official institutions and cultural sites of the capital, as well as to learn about the activities of the Constitutional Court, the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Presidential Archive, the Ministry of Education, and the UNICEF Office.

“We are very glad that adults saw our works, and through them we were able to share what the Constitution means to us,” said Anastasia Babenko. As the children noted, the contest inspired them to dream about the future, strive for new achievements, and prepare for their role as active citizens of Kazakhstan.
