The formal award ceremony took place today at Business Environment in Russia-2022 - the XIV Ulyanovsk Business Forum.

We thank the II Regional Award in the Field of Creative Industries for their attention to municipal activities aimed at developing and supporting creative industries. We also thank everyone who took part in the online voting and supported this project.

The Crossroads Festival, a festival to represent UNESCO Creative Cities, was held in September this year. The idea to create such a festival belongs to the Department of Culture and Leisure of the Ulyanovsk City. Creative Technologies Foundation ‘Ulyanovsk, Culture Capital’ and the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO became the partners of the event.

The Crossroads brought together more than 1,500 participants and visitors, and also representatives of four cities of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network: Ulyanovsk, Kazan, St. Petersburg and Kargopol (Arkhangelsk region).
