The first open competition of national cultures, creativity and beauty "Grace International" will be held on March 4 in Vitebsk, as reported by the City Centre for National Cultures.

The event will take place in the "Vitebsk" concert hall. Representatives from Belarus, China, Sri Lanka, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan will compete for the title of winner. All participants are students of higher education institutions in the regional centre. Each will have supporters. Incidentally, one of the competition tasks is for the support group, so not only the direct participants are preparing for the challenges.

The participants will have to reveal their talents in a multifaceted way. They will need to impress the jury with their culinary skills by demonstrating a national dish, their public speaking abilities, and their creative talents. The fashion show competition, which will also feature national costumes, promises to be particularly interesting.

Winners will be determined in the following nominations: Miss Grace International, 1st Vice-Miss, 2nd Vice-Miss, 3rd Vice-Miss, Miss Friendship, Miss Creativity, and Miss Photo.

The jury will include Gleb Lapitsky, General Director of the "Vitebsk" Culture Centre; Viktor Glushin, Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk City Executive Committee; Elena Pantukhova, Director of the "Vitebsk" Television and Radio Company; as well as competent specialists from the beauty and fashion industry.

The event is organised by the "Vitebsk" Culture Centre and the City Centre for National Cultures.

Currently, these cultural institutions are finalising the development of regulations for another interesting project announced at the end of last year – the Days of National Cultures. It is planned that these will be held in Vitebsk from May to September, excluding the days of the "Slavianski Bazaar" festival.
