This year, the text of the dictation is dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the Mykolaiv Zoo, one of the oldest and most famous zoos in Ukraine. The author of the text is the director of the Mykolaiv Zoo, Honored Worker of Culture of Ukraine Volodymyr Topchyi.
Traditionally, Mykolaiv residents from various corners of Ukraine and from abroad joined the writing of the dictation.
Dmytro Falko, Secretary of the Mykolaiv City Council, and Volodymyr Topchyi, the author of the dictation text, addressed the participants with welcoming words, wishing everyone success and thanking them for their love for the Ukrainian language and their care for the history of their hometown.
The participants' works will be evaluated by a professional jury consisting of:
Hanna Novytska became the voice of the "Mykolaiv Dictation – 2026."
Participants who wrote the dictation live completed their work at the Marko Kropyvnytskyi Central Library, while everyone who joined online is sending their texts to the organizers' email address. Over the coming weeks, the jury will be checking the works.
On June 28, on the Constitution Day of Ukraine, the full text of the dictation will be published on the Facebook page of the Marko Kropyvnytskyi Central Library.
The winners will traditionally be announced and honored in August, ahead of the Independence Day of Ukraine.
The project is implemented with the support of the Mykolaiv City Council, the Department of Culture and Cultural Heritage Protection of the Mykolaiv City Council, the Marko Kropyvnytskyi Central Library, and the MART Television Company.
Thank you for being with us!
We look forward to seeing you at the Marko Kropyvnytskyi Central Library — there are many more interesting meetings, projects, and cultural events ahead.
