Republic's 75th Anniversary Celebrations to Continue
Almost everybody heard about the Bilkent Symphony Orchestra's concert tours in August and September. Many of you have noticed the posters with the 75th Anniversary of the Republic logo on the bulletin boards in the hallways announcing a series of contests, and we hope everybody knows about the open air concert on the 28th (location yet to be determined). And do not forget that a Republic Ball is planned for October 29. Details will be announced shortly.

All these and other activities such as a bicycle tour, the Republic Day Run on October 24, and other sports activities are part of Bilkent University's celebration of the Republic of Turkey's 75th anniversary.

In addition to the sports, music, and other activities, there is a series of contests open to all Bilkent students. To enter the contests, which are detailed below, students must submit their work in person at room Z-05 in the Student Union Building. Each submission must be made under a pen name.

The grand prize in each contest is 100 million TL; second prize, 75 million TL; third prize, 50 million TL. Awards ceremonies will be held on the dates listed below to honor the winners in each category. Show your talent and spirit by taking part in the activities to mark this historic anniversary!
