To celebrate Flag Day, the U.S. Embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section brought nearly 300 high school students to the Ambassador’s residence to exhibit the displays they created to illustrate various representative elements for a particular U.S. state – and the District of Columbia. Although the high schools participating this year were at their first experience, the tradition of elaborate projects was very well kept.
At this 7th edition on June 14 (the actual Flag Day celebration!), Embassy judges awarded prizes in the following categories: Best Overall – Rhode Island (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”); Runner Up Best Overall – Ohio (Liceul “George Calinescu”); Most Creative/Original – Maine (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Represents the State Best – Florida (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Most Informative/Educational – Virginia (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Most Fun – West Virginia (Colegiul German Goethe); Most Detailed – Iowa (Scoala Superioara Comerciala “N. Kretzulescu”); Best Presentation – Kansas (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”); Most Attractive – Arkansas (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”) and People’s Choice, in which the participants voted Maine (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”) as their favorite.
The winners received American books, music and movies. All students then enjoyed pizza and sodas on the residence lawn.
