- For me, this competition has become a wonderful experience and a pleasant memory. Since Bohdan and I presented the only student work, it was interesting to compare it with the stories of professional journalists. Just during the awards, we’ve discussed the videos of other authors and, of course, we’ve learnt so much. It is extremely motivating to receive an award from Mykola Tomenko. It is an unforgettable experience and a good impetus for future developments, - shares Karina Khachatarian.
