The winners of the All-Russian "More Than a Trip" Award will be announced at the National Centre RUSSIA

The results of the All-Russian "More Than a Trip" Award will be announced on 24 December at the National Centre RUSSIA. Alongside the awards ceremony, participants will be offered a business programme and live performances by artists. 

The "More Than a Trip" Award of the Rosmolodezh programme of the same name is the first award in Russia designed to identify and recognise those who turn youth travel across Russia into a meaningful and beneficial experience. During such trips, participants not only visit tourist attractions, but also explore the country’s history and culture and contribute to regional development through socially useful activities. Participation in the All-Russian award was open in three categories: "People", "Organisations", and "Projects". Applications were accepted across eight core nominations. 

The concept of the awards ceremony conveys the programme’s key message — "Know. Love. Be Proud!" — and reflects the journey of a person who, by discovering Russia, discovers themselves. On this evening, each participant will follow their own route — from the first discovery to an inner sense of pride in the country — and gain a deeper understanding of the values and meanings of the "More Than a Trip" programme. 

Invited to take part in the ceremony are: the First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia, Sergei Kiriyenko, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the "More Than a Trip" programme; the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Chernyshenko; the First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Social Policy, Alexander Varfolomeyev, Chairman of the Expert Council of the "More Than a Trip" programme; the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Tourism and Tourism Infrastructure Development, Sangadzhi Tarbayev, Chairman of the Expert Council of the "More Than a Trip" Award; the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Valery Falkov; the Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), Grigory Gurov; and other distinguished guests — prominent public figures and heads of partner organisations of the programme. The event will also be attended by the Director General of ANO "More Than a Trip", Olesya Teterina. 

The ceremony programme includes creative performances. On 24 December, the stage of the National Centre RUSSIA will host performances by Polina Gagarina, L’One, the contemporary ensemble of young folk performers "Toloka", and theatre and film actor Anton Shagin. The highlights of the ceremonial event will include a choir, a symphony orchestra, a recognisable voice-over narration, and an awards presentation transformed into a unique creative performance. 

Ahead of the ceremony, guests will be able to visit an exposition showcasing the achievements of the "More Than a Trip" programme, as well as attend the case session "How to Talk About Your Project in the Voice of a Traveller?". Speakers in the business format will include tourism experts, well-known bloggers, and journalists: the Deputy Director General of the Komsomolskaya Pravda media group, Gyuzel Khisyamutdinova (the publishing house implements the media project "Holidays in Russia" and serves as the organiser of the tourism award "The Route Is Built"); Russian TV presenter and journalist Dmitry Guberniev; domestic tourism expert Irina Pudova; and Russian mountaineering champion Sergei Kofanov. The session will be moderated by the Adviser to the Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), Olga Kuznetsova. 

A press zone will operate in the foyer of the concert hall, with press scrums organised for the media. Journalists’ questions will be answered by the organisers and the award winners.
