The evaluation of the entries of the Student Radio Message and Song Contest "Make it heard 2023" has been completed. The competition, entitled "Youth for Peace", received a tremendous response from the educational community this year. There were 398 entries, 239 radio messages, and 159 songs from schools in Greece, Cyprus, Spain and Croatia. The children's original and imaginative creations reflect the world they would like to live in: a peaceful world, where love, mutual respect, solidarity, social and ecological justice prevail, and above all, where all forms of violence are a thing of the past. The evaluation of the competition entries was based on criteria, taking into account for the final result the scores of the Jury and the participating schools. The results of the evaluation for the first prizes, and without revealing the order of ranking, were announced on the competition website: https:/contest.europeanschoolradio.eu/finalists2023/.
Up to three first prizes will be awarded per category of participation and per school level, i.e. kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools, high schools and special schools. In addition, a Listener Award, one for each category of participation (radio message, song) will be awarded by online voting. Listeners will be able to listen and vote for the student entries on the website Make it Audible Contest | ESR Listener Vote. Listeners can give their 'heart' - vote for as many entries as they like. The radio message and the song with the most votes will win the Listeners' Choice Award. The online voting for the Listeners' Award will be open from 25 March to 20 April 2023.
The Awards Ceremony will take place on Saturday, 29 April 2023, during the 7th Panhellenic Student Radio Festival European School Radio 2023, which will take place in Zakynthos from 27 to 29 April 2023.
