The 23rd All-Russian Internet Festival for Youth, “Sochi-BRIDGE-2024,” is dedicated to the 225th anniversary of the birth of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin.

The festival’s motto is “Inflame people’s hearts with the word.” Participants can engage both in-person and online, with the event divided into three stages: registration, remote participation, and an in-person round. The final includes events related to the theme of Pushkin and the Caucasus, screenings of films (including works by Dinara Asanova), and a ceremonial opening with the awarding of festival winners. The competition features several categories for different age groups, including creative works about Pushkin, journalism, poetry, illustrations of Pushkin’s tales, website and book trailer development, and analysis of contemporary literature. Renowned experts from various fields evaluate the entries. Participants in the final stage included students from twenty Russian regions and Belarus. The festival’s best works are included in a digital anthology.
