A total of 197 laureates of the first round from Jerusalem, Beersheba, Haifa, Netanya, Bat Yam, Tel Aviv and other cities took part in the final round.
The official awards ceremony for the winners and runners-up of the final round was held on June 8 at the Russian Cultural Center. The winner of the Grand Prix won a trip to the International Children’s Learning Camp on Russian Language, History and Culture, which will be held this summer for the seventh time by the Israeli Center for Support of Creativity in Children.
