Oleg Valenchuk: The Voice of Youth – The Voice of Russia

      The competition, held with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives, brought together over 320 young authors from various regions of Russia. The diversity of formats – from professional works of media studios to intimate family shoots – demonstrated that the theme of responsibility for the future of the country resonates deeply and can unite generations.

      As emphasized by the chairman of the "Greenland" festival, State Duma deputy Oleg Valenchuk, the main task of the project is to ensure that patriotism becomes not just a beautiful word for young people, but is filled with concrete actions and deeds. The works of the contestants, filled with reflections on justice, goodness, and historical memory, vividly demonstrated that this has been achieved.

      By the decision of the jury, 16 participants were awarded the title of laureates, and another 20 became diploma winners of the competition. Their works stand out for their originality, depth of theme exploration, and creative boldness. The list of winners has been published in the official community of the "Greenland" festival on Vkontakte.

      – The voice of youth is the voice of Russia, and our competition is a vivid confirmation of that, – noted Oleg Valenchuk. – "The fate of Russia is in your hands" is not just loud words. Through social videos, the guys revealed eternal themes: love for the Motherland, loyalty to duty, the warmth of home, the greatness of the feats of Russia's defenders... The "Greenland" festival today fulfills a crucial social mission – it creates a cultural environment where young talents find their voice and confidence that the future of the country is indeed in their hands.

      The laureates of the competition will be awarded diplomas and cash prizes. The award ceremony for the winners will take place in May at the Kirov Museum of Marshal Konev.
