For editorial teams – this is consistency and purposefulness, an analytical approach in covering the competition topics; diversity of genres and forms, non-standard approaches to the development and presentation of materials; broad public resonance of published or broadcast materials. For individual authors - originality and novelty in revealing the topic, individual creative style, significance and scale of the problems studied, persuasiveness and argumentation.
