The winners of the international exhibition-competition of creative works by students of art schools and schools of arts "Perspective" will be announced today in Vitebsk, the city's Center for Contemporary Art informed a BELTA correspondent. 519 children are taking part in the competition, representing Vitebsk, Polotsk, Novopolotsk (Vitebsk region), Roslavl and Desnogorsk (Smolensk region, Russia), Rezekne and Daugavpils (Latvia), the German cities of Nienburg and Loccum, as well as Jinan province of China.
