The competition of bard song, poetry, and visual arts will be held in six nominations: "Poetry. Free Theme," "Poetry. Poems for Children," "Bard Song. Classics," "Bard Song. Alternative," "Performance Skills. Vocal," and "Performance Skills. Poetic Recitation."
The gala concert and award ceremony for the winners will take place on October 19. Musicians Ksenia Polteva and Grigory Danskoy (Moscow) will be special guests of the evening.
