The "Great Change: Rosh Hashanah Journey" competition for 1st-4th graders from Abkhazia, organized by the Shinto movement, has been launched. Submissions will be accepted through Dec. 5, contest organizers said.
The participants will have to create a postcard with their own hands and give it to someone they know, compose a fairy tale for the New Year and record a video greeting to their loved ones for the upcoming New Year. Students will also share a story about a good deed they and their family did in 2026, whether it was helping others, taking care of nature, or improving places outside their home. The winners of the contest will enjoy New Year's trips to Moscow with a visit to the Kremlin's Christmas tree and to Veliky Ustyug with a visit to Santa Claus.
