Since 2011 the copies of Pat a Mat are distributed only to the subscribers and fellows. The authors of published originals will find originals and awards online, where they should appear in the same time as the printed issue. The original publishing place, site of Jan Golha, is not updated for some time, therefore the selections from new issues are due to appear here, starting with all issues from 2012.
