The winners of the competition to create a logo for the XXXII Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" have been determined in the city on the Dvina River.
By tradition, each new "Slavianski Bazaar" has its own cornflower, meaning its own corporate logo and style. This is the logo that appears on all city posters, adorns the main stage of the forum – the Summer Amphitheatre, and "blooms" on numerous souvenirs that festival guests will later take home. This year, the Directorate of the International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" decided to experiment by announcing a public competition to create a logo for the next "cornflower" forum. Students from many specialized Belarusian higher and secondary vocational education institutions, as well as artists and designers from Vitebsk and beyond, responded to this interesting proposal.
Maria Voitekhovskaya, Head of the Press Service of the "Vitebsk" Cultural Centre, shared:
— A total of over 140 works were submitted for the consideration of the competent jury. Each was talented, bright, and original in its own way. It was truly not easy to make a choice! And we decided in favour of several winners at once, dividing the cash prize among them. Based on active discussion, four contestants were among the best of the best. These are Vitebsk residents Anna Tavaldzhanskaya, Elena Miklushova, and Alexander Kholstinnikov, as well as Rinat Gadzhiev from the agro-town of Priluki, Minsk Region.
Very soon, all of them will receive commemorative diplomas and rewards. How the prize money will be distributed will be announced exactly at noon on January 12th at "Dukhovskoy Kruglik".
Since there are four winners, the festival directorate logically assumed that the final logo for the XXXII "Slavianski Bazaar" would most likely become a reflection and continuation of all the winning projects combined.
