A competition of children's amateur art dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Victory passed at Kurskenergo

IDGC of Centre - Kurskenergo division held the tenth anniversary show-contest of children's amateur art "Bright Little Rays", dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Their creative performances in various categories were presented by children of employees of the branch in the age from 6 to 15 years old.

That day on the stage there were a lot of songs and poems of patriotic themes. And performances of young dance artists in tunics and with St. George ribbons on their chest, dancing with foot tapping to songs of the war years, were more like performances of front-line propaganda teams. So, the duo of children from Cheremisinovsky Distribution Zone with the performance of "Katyusha" was awarded first place in the category "folk dance".

The jury traditionally judged with the understanding that for children of employees of Kurskenergo it is, above all, a holiday and not a professional competition. "We all gathered here to get a charge of vivacity and good mood from the children's charm, optimism of the participants and to be their fans together with their parents," stressed the chair of the jury - Art Director of House of Culture of Railway Workers of Kursk Oksana Denisova.

As a result, "Grand Prix" of the competition for the second consecutive year was awarded an eight-year Mikhail Gorbachev - the son of the 1st category specialist of the department on work with customers Lyudmila Gorbacheva. Only this time he shared it with his partner, a nine year Arina Devyanina - the daughter of the 1st category specialist of the department on work with customers Oksana Devyanina. The children very artistically played the story of Leo Davydychev "Very good girl", consolidating the impression with solo performances in the same category "recitation".

But viewers preferred the seven-year daughter of the head of production and technical team of Kursksky Distribution Zone Alexander Ageev - Nastya. Charming and feeling comfortable on the stage the girl with the song "We Are Together" literally lit the room and put the cheerful point as the curtains of the festival fell. "The real artist" - the jury unequivocally identified the talent of the young singer and handed her a diploma "People's Choice Award".

The jury distinguished the youngest participants with individual diplomas. The diploma "Young talent" was awarded for the solo dance "Babulechka-Yagulechka" a five-year Polina Nazarova and the diploma "Young virtuoso" went to a six-year Elizaveta Grishina for her very diligent violin performance.

Mothers of both young contestants are lawyers of the contract work sector of Legal Support Division worried backstage not less than their daughters, supporting and encouraging them.

The jury distinguished with a special diploma the performance of the 12-year-old daughter of an engineer for labour protection of the department of labour protection and environmental safety Daniil Kozyrev - Anastasia. She wrote a touchy poem "A Letter Home" about the latest news of the fallen soldier.

However, there were no losers on that day. Each of the participants, who did not take places, received a special diploma and a souvenir. And all, without exception, got applause and good word of the jury.

Summing up the contest, Deputy General Director of IDGC of Centre - Kurskenergo division director Alexander Rudnevsky stressed: "For 10 years we have organized the celebration of children's creativity, filled with happy laughter, smiles and positive emotions. And this time we can see how it is needed both for our children, and in fact, us - the parents, who get an opportunity to see their children on stage, to show to colleagues. During this time many children have grown up in front of our eyes, and have given way the stage to newcomers. I am confident that we will celebrate many more anniversaries of this competition, much-loved at Kurskenergo."
