The competition has two age groups. One is for children attending preschools in District VII, while the other is open to pupils in Years 1–4 at local primary schools.
Pencils, paint or collage
Entries must be A4 size, but children are free to choose their materials. They can work with coloured pencils, felt-tip pens, crayons, watercolours or tempera, or submit a collage.
For paper entries, the child’s name, age, class or preschool group and the name of their institution must be written legibly on the back. The same details should be included in the covering message for submissions sent by email. Entrants must also provide the name, email address and telephone number of a parent or the teacher who helped prepare the work. A title for the artwork is required as well. Entries without enough information to identify the child will not be assessed.
Results on St Nicholas’ Day
Artwork can be delivered in person to Erzsébetváros Rendészeti Igazgatósága at 1076 Budapest, Százház utca 10–18. Envelopes should be marked “ERI Manó Rajzpályázat 2026”. Digital entries can be sent to kommunikacio@evkf.hu.
The results will be announced on 6 December, St Nicholas’ Day, on the ERI7 Facebook page. Winners will also be contacted by telephone or email with details of how to collect their prizes.
The top three individual entrants in each category will receive an ERI gift package and a certificate. Photographs may be taken when the prizes are presented; publication will be discussed with the child’s parent or guardian beforehand.
The deadline is 12 noon on 1 December. Entries may be delivered to Erzsébetváros Rendészeti Igazgatósága, 1076 Budapest, Százház utca 10–18, or emailed to kommunikacio@evkf.hu.
