RRI Contest: Alba Iulia-The City of the Union
Dear
friends, RRI invites you to participate in a new prize winning contest,
entitled "Alba Iulia – the City of the Union" devoted to the
celebration of 100 years since the territories with a predominantly
Romanian population united in a nation state.
The
Grand National Assembly of Alba Iulia (central Romania), held on
December 1, 1918, sealed the union of the provinces of Bessarabia,
Bukovina, Transylvania, Banat, Crisana, Maramures and Satmar with the
Kingdom of Romania. December 1 is Romania’s National Day, celebrated
every year on this day, since 1990.
On
March 27, 1918, the union of Bessarabia with the Kingdom of Romania was
the first moment in a series of similar acts, completed on December 1,
1918 with the union of Transylvania, which sealed the creation of
Greater Romania. In 1918, new states, among which Greater Romania,
emerged on the map of Central and Eastern Europe. The new map was the
result of the rearrangement of political structures based on national
criteria. National self-determination based on ethnic majority was the
underlying principle in the process of setting up the new state
entities, a principle which is still functioning in international
relations.
We invite you to follow RRI’s broadcasts, our site www.rri.ro and our Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn profiles and give correct answers, in writing, to the contest questions. The contest ends on June 30, 2018, mailing date (June 30, at midnight, Romania’s time, for the online participants).
The
two Grand Prizes will consist in two trips with accommodation and
full-board, between September 10-18, sponsored by the Transilvania Hotel
in Alba Iulia and the “Casa Motului” guesthouse in Arieseni, Alba
County. As usual, the winners will have to cover the costs of the
foreign travel expenses to and from Romania, and, if necessary, the cost
of a Romanian visa. We will also offer prizes consisting in objects,
particularly cultural promotion products. The contest is organised
jointly with the Alba County Council, the City Hall of Alba Iulia, the
Alba Iulia Branch of the Fine Artists Union, the Alba Iulia Orthodox
Archbishopric and the Apulum SA Porcelain Factory in Alba Iulia.
And now the questions:
-What does Romania celebrate on December 1 and what is the significance of this celebration?
-What is the city which hosted the Grand National Assembly of December 1, 1918?
-In what part of Romania is Alba Iulia located?
