Every year we hope that it will all go well, and I think that we keep raising the bar.

“Of course, we will wait for the next stages and plan to hold an exhibition and our usual international road show. But first of all, we will expect the announcement of the winners and the winner of the Grand Prix. At the moment, I invite everyone to the stenincontest.ru|stenincontest.com website to see the wonderful, amazing short list for 2023.”
