The Cross-border video competition (VLOG) "Share the cultural heritage of your region", organized by the Business Information and Consulting Center - Sandanski within the project "Young people - the new promoters of the cultural identity of the cross-border region" has been completed successfully.

The competition aimed to gather ideas and proposals for promoting the cultural heritage of the common cross-border region of Bulgaria and North Macedonia. In this way, the organizers tried to provoke interest and encourage the participation of young people from both countries in promoting and preserving the cultural identity and unique cultural heritage of the cross-border region. Despite the unprecedented situation in the country, more than 40 young people from Blagoevgrad district aged 16-25 joined the initiative.

We received a lot of interesting and impressive videos, which made it very difficult for our jury to determine the best ones. The final ranking is available HERE and on the project's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/youngpromoters.eu

Congratulations to the winners and congratulations to all participants!
