VivaCell-MTS announced the closing of the 2011 Spring Inspiration project embracing culture houses and arts and crafts schools of Armenia.

Altogether over 3,000 school students from about 100 houses of culture and schools of arts from 10 provinces of Armenia and Yerevan participated in the project. The closing ceremony was hosted by Medzamor Culture House which brought together about 700 students and instructors from about 60 winning institutions.

The event kicked off with an exhibition that was followed by a gala-concert during which the awarding ceremony for the winners of the national contest took place.

“By encouraging our children to embrace art, and especially children living in Armenia’s remote regions, we preserve our self-identity by means of engaging in arts, and we pass on our heritage to the younger generation,” VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian said.

The contest winners received their prizes: computers, musical instruments, sound equipment and pieces of furniture.

Spring Inspiration project is a continuous project aimed at revealing and promoting the creativity of young talents in the regions of Armenia.
