The competition invited students from Canada to get creative and submit short essays. The contest was a success as participants from 12 schools and 4 provinces have submitted their work. Our esteemed judges – leading experts in the field of the Russian language, literature and history from Russia and Canada – reviewed the entries to track the quality of each participant’s command of the Russian language, before choosing the winners. We would like to emphasize that the judges were fascinated by the distinctive vocabulary, inventive plots, and original settings our competitors have used in their essays.
