“When I announced the contest, I was convinced that Estonians have many smart, good, and constructive ideas,” President Ilves said when handing over the prizes. According to the Estonian Head of State, the large number of entries confirms the wish of the people to actively participate in the shaping of Estonia’s future. “Writing is also part of a civil society,” added President Ilves.
