The Bilingua contest has started accepting the applications, according to the website of the Moscow Mayor. It was organized by the city authorities for children, adolescents and young people aged 10 to 22 years. Not only residents of the capital, but also representatives of other Russian regions and foreign countries will be able to join it. The only condition is that the Russian language for them must be foreign or non-native.
The event is aimed at creating a respectful attitude to the languages and cultures of different nations. Another goal of the competition is to support students' interest in learning the Russian language and increase motivation. During the competition, special attention is paid to the topics of the civilizational heritage of Russia in the world.
The winners will be named in three age categories for different subgroups: Russian as non-native language; second native; Russian as a foreign language.
The organizers suggest that children choose several nominations for writing an essay in Russian and their native language.
The National Artistic Heritage in Modern Reading theme is dedicated to the Year of Folk Art in Russia. Mini studies on topics related to folk crafts are welcome within its framework.
The works are accepted until September 25.
