The Ministry of Defence and the editorial board of Defence Magazine, the official monthly publication of the MOD, have concluded the 18th MOD Literary Competition with “INTERNET BATTLEFIELD” as this year's theme. The winners of this creative writing competition were decided in a public online vote.
Five finalists were shortlisted in each category from 139 short stories and essays by the MOD judging panel, composed of editors on the editorial board of Defence Magazine and staff from the Defence Minister's Cabinet Office, including from the Press Office, the Hybrid Threats Division, and the Marketing Division. All entries were logged and numbered as they came in, so that they could be judged anonymously and matched back to their entry.

The most votes in the Secondary Students category went to TIMEA MARINIČOVÁ of Army General Ludvík Svoboda Grammar School in Humenné, followed in the second and third places by ANDREA BABÍNCOVÁ, of Grammar School in Považská Bystrica, and MICHAELA JANEČEKOVÁ, of Secondary Technical School in Tisovec.
