And here we round up two international online festivals: the “Sakura Blossom” and the “New Stream II”, organized by our partner, the European Festival Project, “STARS WAY” (Prague, Czech Republic). The events were held in collaboration with the “World Union of Culture”, and the media partner was the “Mozaika TV”, the European Internet Television. A total of 15 Polish contestants took part in both events, who represented our country in various genres and age groups, with one person nominated in the instrumental music category. Our contestants were hugely successful.

For the “New Stream II” competition held in Croatia the results are as follows: Kinga Lorenc, Zuzanna Ozimińska and Aneta Dąbska were awarded 1^st prizes, Paweł Szymański won the 1^st prize and the GOLD STAR, and Marcelina Albrycht came home with the GRAND PRIX.

The “Sakura Blossom” festival held in Japan brought about the following results: 7 persons were awarded the 1^st prize, including Julia Kmiecik, Emilia Szcześniak, Marcelina Albrycht, Zuzanna Ozimińska, Kinga Lorenc, as well as Julia Walaszczyk and Michal Makowski (duo), with Kornelia Wodka also awarded a prize for her instrumental piece. Weronika Dębska was awarded the 1^st place and the GOLD STAR. In addition, two Grand Prix prizes were awarded to Paweł Szymański (pop vocal) and Mateusz Ługowski (classic vocal).
