For the first time at the working sessions of the jury board was present an invited expert: famous Russian art critic Lidiya ISHKOVA. In February 2012 Lidiya was one of the members of the jury board of the “In My Homeland” Contest and at the III International Artists-Teachers Conference shared her impression of the experience. This year her aim was to present a deep and detailed Contest analysis.

Works were assessed in 7 age groups, in each of which the jury identified I, II, III Degree Diploma winners, as well as Exhibition Diplomas and Contest Diplomas winners. A lot of works received Letters of Gratitude.

At the end of the jury work took place a round table, at which the issues of Contest development were discussed.
