Your vote will help determine the winners of the Audience Choice Award.
The contest is held in two stages and brings together participants from different cities across Canada in four age categories:
- Group 1 — ages 6–8
- Group 2 — ages 9–10
- Group 3 — ages 11–13
- Group 4 — ages 14–16
Stage I — School level.
More than 10 schools from most major cities in Canada took part in the first stage. Each school independently organized a recitation contest among its students. Following the school stage, one winner was selected in each age category. All participants recite the works of S. A. Yesenin from memory.
Stage II — All-Canada final.
At the second stage, the winners of the school round recorded videos of themselves reciting a Yesenin poem of their choice. Their performances are being evaluated by a professional jury from different cities across Canada.
Alongside the work of the jury, audience voting is taking place to determine the winners of the Audience Choice Award.
Support our talented children, young lovers of poetry and the Russian language.
