“Competitions and festivals are the basis on which culture rests, ” said Gleb Lapitsky, general director of the Vitebsk Culture Center, chairman of the jury. – Just like in sports, when there is a competitive moment and when it is also emotional, where the participant can express his position, the attitude towards creativity is very important. This festival preserves not only vocal excellence, but also the patriotic spirit. The guys sing not only songs of past years, but also new patriotic songs. Competitions of this type allow creative materials to find their artist. I look forward to bright performances and correct conclusions from the contestants. Because it is very important after the competition, even if people did not take first place, they did not stop, moved on, developed. The most important evaluation criterion is that it hits the heart.
