The international video contest “Wonderful Eurasia” which was organized by Eurasian section of UCLG with the organizational support of the OWHC Regional Secretariat for Euro-Asia has successfully finished. The aim of the contest was to promote cultural and historical heritage sites of Eurasian cities and their tourist opportunities.
The participants of the contest were young people living within territory of Eurasia. Pupils sent their works from May 3 to September 28, 2018. Then the contest committee consisting of experts in the field of cinema, tourism and advertising defined the winners.
The jury highly appreciated the work by Kseniya Rachkova from the city of Vologda. In her video called “Vologda – soul of the Russian North” a young film maker told about main places of interest of the city, and famous Vologda lace and even visited a factory that produces Vologda butter.
Adilya Mukharlyamova as a real film director was outside the camera’s view, having provided the opportunity to perform to Bulat Salimov. The video “Kazan – a wonderful Russian city” acquaints the audience with the main place of interest of Kazan – architectural complex “Kazan Kremlin”. The work was awarded the second place.
Jury was captivated by Elizaveta Rodina’s sense of humor and ability to originally present traditional Chuvash places of interest. Her younger brother Yasha became an invited star of the video called “We are in Cheboksary” and helped sister to arrange a tour around the Chuvash capital.
