In the Legislative Assembly awarded the winners of the competition for the best coverage of NHP

On November 12, the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod region awarded the laureates of the 29th competition for the coverage of the development of folk art crafts. Their works were presented by journalists and craftsmen, cultural workers, participants of creative teams and educational organizations.

Nizhny Novgorod region is rightly called one of the leading centers of folk art of the country. In terms of the production of folk art crafts, the region now ranks second in Russia and first in the Volga Federal District. Behind these results is the talent, skill and long work of those who cherish traditions and pass them on to their children and grandchildren.

The ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod region Evgeny Lyulin, President of the Foundation for the Development of Folk Art Crafts Nikolai Smirnov and General Director of the NHP Development Fund of the Nizhny Novgorod region Elena Krayushkina.

The organizers emphasize that in the year of the unity of the peoples of Russia, the contest received a special meaning. For the first time, a separate nomination was established for NHP masters – “National Costume – Carrier of Cultural Memory”. It united masters from Chkalovsk, Nizhny Novgorod and Shakhunya. Therefore, one of the highlights of the ceremony was the show of the exemplary fashion theater "Tashin-stile" from Pervomaisk. The audience saw handmade costumes of different peoples of Russia - Russian, Mordovian, Tatar and Besermian.
