Million thanks to Mare Veiderpass and the teachers of Võru Kesklinna Gymnasium who prepared the quiz.
Also, thanks to Maila Vilu and Maive Salakka who helped to organise the copying of the materials and prepared the rooms in Võru kreutzwald Gymnasium.
Last but not least, huge thanks to teachers of English whose children took part in the competition and who helped to mark the quiz papers and did an excellent job!
