The Jury Summed Up the Results of the Young Artist Contest “The Magic Power of the Blue Stream”

The jury of the competition “The Magic Power of the Blue Stream” has selected winners, laureates and prize-winners of the 9th Moscow International festival of young talents ‘The Magic Power of the Blue Stream — MOSGAZ Lights the Stars’ from young artists. Children from 29 regions of Russia as well as a participant from the Republic of Tajikistan reached the prize-list. In total, 55 children from 7 to 18 received awards.

About 2,000 works from 70 regions of Russia and 4 countries of the world were submitted to the competition. The first stages of the festival will traditionally be held online, so the challenging epidemiological situation will not affect the work of the electronic jury at all. Alongside the work of the jury, there was open voting on the Internet for the people's choice award in which almost 2,700 people took part. Users liked more than 4.5 thousand participants and selected the top three: children from Moscow and North Ossetia.

The young artists' works were estimated by members of the Russian Academy of Arts and the Artists' Union of Russia, Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute's teachers, and international artistic associations' members.  The winners will be awarded in 2021 when the epidemiological situation is stable.
