St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, located in the very center of the northern capital of Russia, next to the Hermitage Museum, Palace Square and Nevsky Prospekt, has long been the object of dreams of both St. Petersburg youth and ambitious students from the regions who choose a university to continue their studies.

It turns out to be not so easy to become a student of Ƶ in practice: for some creative areas of training and specialties, the general competition reaches more than 100 people per place. But this fact does not stop young people, and young applicants continue to show their abilities by participating in the School Olympiad "Culture and Art" in order for their talent to be noticed, even outside of competitive tests.

Since 2009, the Culture and Art Olympiad has been included annually in the list of school Olympiads approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. It is held by the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design provides an opportunity for winners and prize-winners to become students without entrance tests and apply for a grant from the President of the Russian Federation.

This year, the students came to St. Petersburg to complete the final stage of the Olympiad, which started at the Ƶ sites in full-time format on March 21 and ended on March 25. More than 4,000 schoolchildren from 78 regions of Russia, as well as from Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, China, South Ossetia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Mongolia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Nigeria, Senegal, and Benin took part in the qualifying stage. More than 2,000 participants qualified for the final stage of the Olympiad.

"The All—Russian Olympiad of schoolchildren "Culture and Art", held by the University of Industrial Technologies and Design for the seventeenth year in a row, is without exaggeration a unique social elevator for talented schoolchildren from all over the world. In terms of the concentration of gifted children and the breadth of the geography of its participants, it has no equal in the country. For us, this is a fundamental tool of professional orientation, which opens the way for talented children to the elite of art education. Every year we see qualitative growth: the work of schoolchildren is becoming more mature and technically advanced. By becoming our students, these guys fall into the reliable hands of leading university professors. Here, their potential is converted into real achievements and a powerful portfolio, including in the digital environment, which is critically important for the modern market."

The Olympiad "Culture and Art" has been held at Ƶ since 2009 in two sets of subjects: for creative specialties, students demonstrate their skills in academic drawing, painting, composition and knowledge of the history of art and culture, and for technological specialties — in technical drawing and decorative composition.

Reference: The Culture and Art Olympiad has been assigned level 1 (at least 3,000 schoolchildren from 20 or more regions of the Russian Federation have participated in it annually for 2 years or more), which gives an absolute advantage over the winners and prize-winners of Olympiads at other levels.
