Are there any losers at a talent salute competition? Regulations on festivals and competitions held within the framework of the international project “Salute of Talents”

December is the traditional time for parent-teacher meetings, where you discuss plans for the next six months. Of course, among these discussions there is a place for questions about traveling to festivals. Knowing that many parents are concerned about the organizational aspects of the trip, we have prepared some useful tips that we suggest you use.

One of the most important questions that parents ask about participating in festivals is: Are you sure that the organizer is reliable and that the festival will be held at a high level?

You can reassure your parents and yourself (after all, you take responsibility for the children) only if you carefully approach the issue of choosing the organizer of the festival-competition.

What we advise you to do before the meeting and what you need to tell your parents (especially if this is your first time going to the organizer of the competition):
- check the availability of real photos and video reports about the festivals held;
- look at the organizer’s website for reviews from participants;
- ask for contacts of teachers and team leaders who have already attended festivals or competitions of this organizer and talk personally with these teachers (believe me, this is a great way to make sure that everything is in order with the organization).

What you need to tell your parents before the trip:

Nature doesn't have bad weather, only the wrong clothes
Check with your trip organizer and weather forecast sites for information about the weather along your route. Inform parents to bring appropriate clothing.
- Children want to eat
Think about your children's daily meals in advance. Often, travel programs only include breakfast; discuss with the organizers whether it is possible to order additional meals in advance; if not, how it can be organized along the route and in the city of stay. In any case, ask your parents to give their children non-perishable food items with them on the trip - crackers, crackers, cookies, etc.
- Money and children
Ask parents to give their children money for meals if prepaid meals are not available. Also ask parents to give their children pocket money and souvenirs along the route. In addition, we advise accompanying persons to have spare money with them in case of unforeseen expenses.

Spring with “Salute of Talents”
And, of course, we advise you to pay attention to the projects of the Creative Association “Salute of Talents”.

In the spring of 2015, we offer you more than 30 festivals both in Russia (Rostov-on-Don, Moscow, Vladimir, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Sudak, Kazan, Ufa, Yekaterinburg) and in the world (Minsk, Berlin, Alma- Ata, Paris, Rome, Beijing, Barcelona, Vilnius, Riga, Astana, Cannes, Budapest, Vitebsk, Vienna, Tokyo, Istanbul).

During the New Year holidays, on January 5 and 6, 2017, the XV festival-competition of children’s and youth creativity “Merger of Cultures” was held in Kazan as part of the international project “Salute of Talents”. More than 450 young artists from different parts of Russia took part in the competition: Anapa, Volgograd, Vsevolozhsk, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk,Moscow, St. Petersburg, Lipetsk, Novosibirsk, Nyagan and other cities.

Pupils of the Argayash Children's Art School also took part in the competition. The jury included honored artists and cultural figures of Russia, teachers of creative educational institutions, famous musicians, actors and choreographers. The young dancers did not flinch in front of such professionals and demonstrated high skill in their performance.

The duet of the Yangildin brothers received 1st place and the title of 1st degree laureate. Ilgar and Rinar won the hearts of the jury and the audience with their amazing dance coordination. During the 47-second pause in the musical accompaniment, the boys performed a combination of firecrackers and mischievous fractions, which captivated the audience.

The ensemble “Flowers” (consisting of Dana Baimova, Yulia Suleymanova, Diana Kotyashova, Amina Yusupova) received 1st place and the title of 1st degree laureate, as well as a diploma for professionalism. Representatives of the jury compared the girls with the State Dance Ensemble, the performance was so technically verified, accurate down to the smallest detail.

On January 5, out of 76 acts, 11 acts were selected to participate in the gala concert. Among them were our guys - Rinar and Ilgar Yangildin.

The Creative Association “Salute of Talents” invited the Yangildin duo and the choreographic group “Flowers” to take part in the VII SUPERFINAL of the International project “SALUT OF TALENTS. CHOREOGRAPHY" 2016-2017 festival season, which will be held in St. Petersburg in October 2017.

The children's art school teachers Landysh Zakirovna Tagirova and Dina Rauatovna Khabibullina prepared the children for the competition. The teachers received letters of gratitude for their great contribution to the development of children’s creative potential and assistance in preserving the country’s cultural heritage.
