The International Contest
of Children and Youth Art “CPC for Talented Children 2025 - Wings of Victory”
will be open for participation applications starting from March 1, 2025.
Creative teams from Stavropol Krai, Krasnodar Krai, the Republic of Kalmykia
and Astrakhan Oblast are invited to participate. Video entries from solo
performers and creative teams are accepted at www.ktk-talant.ru.
Caspian Pipeline Consortium holds “CPC for
Talented Children” contests every year to support creative children and youth,
develop their performance skills, and promote love of arts. In 2025, the
contest will be timed with the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great
Patriotic War and will be held under the name “CPC for Talented Children 2025 -
Wings of Victory”.
There are six contest nominations this year:
Choreography, Instrumental Performance, Vocal, Chorus, Theater, and a new
Creative Media nomination. Contest participants may try their skills in 30
different directions within the above nominations.
The new Creative Media nomination, wherein young
contestants may present their works in the Social Ad, Short Feature, Podcast
and Reporting, aims at promoting socially responsible thinking among young
people, as well as at fostering moral values and developing media communication
skills that are so crucial in the modern world.
The works of the participants will be evaluated
by an expert jury comprising qualified and experienced specialists, teachers of
creative teams, directors, outstanding culture workers and artists, and Honored
Artists of the Russian Federation.
In addition to creative performances, the contest
will feature a large-scale educational program - the contestants will take part
in round tables, creative meetings and master classes from leading artists. The
educational program of the contest will be expanded significantly in 2025.
Advanced training webinars with the corresponding e-certificates will be
organized for teachers and heads of children’s creative teams for the first
time as part of the contest. The new educational platform will become a powerful
tool for professional growth of teachers, which, in turn, will positively
influence children’s success and creative development. This is also a wonderful opportunity for
exchange of experience, discussion of topical issues, and implementation of contemporary
approaches to teaching and upbringing through art.
The contest geography covers the Republic of
Kalmykia, Astrakhan Oblast, Stavropol Krai and Krasnodar Krai. Solo performers
aged 7 to 17 may take part in the contest, as well as children and youth creative
teams of that age.
“Our contest is not simply a competition, but the
path to self-expression and self-fulfillment for each participant”, - noted
Nikolay Gorban, CPC General Director. “We host thousands of young talents every
year, and we arrange a true celebration of creative arts for them. In 2025,
paying tribute to great feats, we want our contestants to fully embrace,
through creativity and art, the importance of patriotic values,
intergenerational continuity, and preservation of historical memory”.
The contest is traditionally held in four stages:
1. Absentee
contest-examination, whereto participants remotely send their works to be
evaluated by a professional jury.
2. Remote stage,
where contestants present their new works in the same nomination and genre.
3. In-person
regional stage with contest performances, education program, master classes,
and creative meetings.
4. International
Unifying Cultural Forum, which will bring together the best contestants. Final
performances, master classes, an award ceremony and a final Gala Concert await
them.
All contest participants will be awarded with
various diplomas in accordance with the jury’s scores.
