Essay contest

12.3.2019

The University summed up the essay contest “Не поет – бо це ж до болю мало…” (Not a poet – because it is not enough …), which was held on the occasion of the 205th anniversary of Taras Shevchenko’s birthday.

The genius of Shevchenko requires a thorough understanding of more than one decade. His poetic lines, prose works, diary notes, drawings and etchings will inspire reflection and inspire more than one generation of Ukrainians to work. The genius of the artist, the inexhaustibility of artistic meanings and the depth of his images allow everyone to find “their” Shevchenko, destroy the myths about him and at the same time create their own, because we are not able to embrace a figure of this magnitude with one glance, instantly freeing ourselves from all sorts of stereotypes in its perception.

Every author of the essay submitted to the contest tried to create his “own” image of Shevchenko.

The essay contest was attended by teachers and students of the Institute of Culture and Arts; the Institute of History, International Relations and Social and Political Sciences; the Faculty of Ukrainian Philology and Social Communications; the Faculty of Natural Sciences; Starobilsk Humanitarian and Pedagogical College; Rubizhne O.Ye. Porai-Koshytsia Polytechnic College; Lysychansk Pedagogical College.

The depth and originality of the disclosure of the topic, as well as the perfection of language design were taken into account while evaluating the works.

The winners of the competition were Myroslava Andreeva, a student of the Rubizhne O.Ye. Porai-Koshytsia Polytechnic College and Oleksandra Tsyganenko, a student of the Lysychansk Pedagogical College.

The second place was taken by Nadiia Tsebrii, a student of the Educational and Research Institute of Culture and Arts, and Anna Hanaha, a student of the Lysychansk Pedagogical College.

The third place was shared by a teacher of the Starobilsk Humanitarian and Pedagogical College Natalia Voitenko and a student of the Educational and Research Institute of Culture and Arts Zinaida Horuzhyna.

Congratulations to the winners! We wish them further creative success!
