Award in 15 countries. TV BRICS is the international media partner of
the project for the second year in a row.

"This year we are launching an office in Argentina, which will work for the whole of Latin America. We expect it to open at the end of May," he said.
Rabotenko also added that negotiations will begin in September to launch an office in Africa, while the next step will be to open an office in Asia – it is expected to be located in China.
Answering journalists' questions, he said the authors of the project intend to develop cooperation with universities and student sports.
"Universities already have interest, both within our country and through BRICS," he concluded.
Innokenty Dementiev, Deputy Director General of the Presidential Grants Foundation, said that the project managed to become a growth point for street culture on an international scale.
"This is a unique case. I recommend you to my colleagues as an example of how to develop," he emphasised.
The press conference was also attended by 'KARDO's" UAE ambassadors Alex Mizurov and Colombia's John Alexander Castano Bera.
"We are trying to attract as many skaters as possible, we have a huge community in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi," said Mizurov.
