The creative competition will be held in two stages from June 15 to September 11, 2026. Professional journalists and representatives of the blogosphere whose materials will be aired or published between June 15 and August 17 in Belarusian or Russian languages can participate.

Winners will be determined in seven nominations: for a series of publications on the internet, for promoting forest-related topics on social media, for the best radio and television material, as well as for the best photo and video material. Separate awards are provided for the best coverage of the topic in the republican press and for many years of effective cooperation with the department. A special nomination has also been established for the best material dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the forestry management body.

To participate in the first, regional stage of the competition, journalists and bloggers from our region must submit their applications and creative works to the Beshenkovichi Forestry by August 17, by mail (Vitebsk region, p. Beshenkovichi, Michurina St., 1) or by email to: bl@forestlife.by. For inquiries, call: +375 (33) 342–73–82. The regional commission will select the best projects, which will then represent the Vitebsk region in the final, republican stage of the competition from August 18 to September 11.
