"We had a total of 10 participants and three rounds. In the end, we chose the four best contenders from them. Contestants need to compete in their knowledge of ditties. Each of the stages was different from each other. In the second stage it was necessary to compose a ditty to an existing text. The last stage was held in the format of a duet, when they had to win over the opponent in their art,"- said Nadezhda Grigorieva.

She added that the jury also took into account the artistry and activity of the participants of the event.

According to the results of the competition, the victory was awarded to four participants, one of whom shared her impressions of the tournament.

"Some brought a ditty from Tver, some from Lipetsk. I would like to note that the ditties themselves in each region differ from each other in the manner of singing. The feelings and emotions with which you sing it are also important," said Alexandra Shpakova.
