Fünfte Jahreszeit

The first International Competition "The Fifth Season of the Year" was held in 2020 from December 19 to 20. The organizers planned to hold this project in Germany, in its cultural capital - Frankfurt am Main. Due to the global restrictions (COVID-19) that the whole world is facing, we decided to hold it in an online format.

Despite the online format of the competition, it was really large-scale. In total, more than 500 people from 7 countries took part. This competition was remembered by the participants with a large number of specialists evaluating their performances - 14 members of the jury. No less memorable, especially for the jury, was the number of works sent by the participants. The jury needed more than 2 weeks of continuous work to fully review and evaluate all the contestants. This is the real level of the project!
