On September 18, the acceptance of applications for participation in the All-Russian competition of information and educational projects on rural topics "My land Russia" was completed. This year a record number of projects have been announced for the competition - 3,056 from 83 regions of Russia!
During the period of submission, a professional jury, including representatives of the leading federal and industry media, reviewed and appreciated a huge number of works from all over the country. The experts faced a difficult choice: this year the level of projects has grown significantly, and the topics have become more diverse. Lidia Pavlovna Masterenko, the chairman of the jury, observer of the Interfax agency, noted the relevance of the topics of works. The projects of the authors differ both in depth of content and in use of expressive and pictorial means of journalism.
According to the chairman of the jury, “the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Victory gave special significance to the current competition. The projects presented once again showed how important the role of the peasants was. The village fed both the front and the rear. It sheltered and warmed millions of those who were forced to leave their homes and evacuate. And the participants of the competition fully revealed this great mission of the Russian village ”.
This year the Rostov Region became the undisputed leader in terms of the number of participants, more than 50 projects were submitted in various nominations. In addition, representatives of the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Tatarstan have actively shown themselves. For the second year in a row, the most widely covered topic of the Competition is farming and cooperation: success stories, experience and practice, development with the support of the state - 388 projects have been announced. Also, particular interest was shown by the contestants in the nominations for unique rural areas and rural tourism routes. In total, more than 300 projects were announced.
