UPDATE: The Organizing Committee of the 1st International Cultural and Sports Forum “White Water Siberia – 2016” informs the participants of the competitive selection about extension of time for applications and determine the winners by July 1. This is due to the fact that the Sponsor of the Forum negotiated the selection of participants, in which the age of the participants is not limited, by mistake. However, the forum is planned as a youth forum, and it is organized in the framework of the Russian State Program “New Generation – 2016 “. The age in this Program is clearly regulated by the approved financial instruments and, unfortunately, can not be changed. Funding of the participants can be established only on the age qualification, namely 25-35 years at the time of participation in the forum.
The organizing committee of the forum apologizes and extends the acceptance of applications up to July 1 and announce the winners participating by July 2, 2016.
We will be happy to welcome you to Russia!
