During the year a contest is open among all schools all through the country. Everyone is invited to participate with creative works about castle either painting, writing, film, photo, etc.

Our small festival is realy very interesting because children from all over the country visit various castles to prepare their works and sometimes they produce charming videos in which they (with their teachers) write the plot, create the dialogues, sew their own clothes, play the roles, direct the film, write and play the music, everything you need to have a 20-30 minutes film. It's really wonderful to seee what these 10-15 years kids can do! Maria Eduarda
