ASU Employees Saida Evtykh, Marina Orlova, and Victoria Sysoeva Crowned Winners at the National Photo Contest "Family Happiness in Focus"

On the eve of Adygea's Family Day, the Maikop Civil Registry Office hosted an awards ceremony honoring the winners of the national photo contest "Family Happiness in a Frame." The competition attracted over 270 entries from 43 authors representing cities and districts of Adygea and the Kherson region. Ultimately, approximately 100 photographs were selected for the finals.

Victoria Sysoeva, Head of the Web Projects and Media Support Department, was awarded first place in the "Mosaic of Cultures" category. Her works beautifully depict family values, traditions, and the enduring continuity of generations. In the "Courage Born of Family" category, which showcases moments of support for the defenders of the Motherland, Marina Orlova, a lecturer in the Fine Arts and Design Department at ASU, was recognized as the best with her selection. In the "Happy Childhood" category, Saida Yevtykh, also a lecturer in the same department, earned second place with her work titled "In Free Flight."

The event was held as part of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. Its primary objectives include strengthening and developing the institution of the family, as well as promoting traditional values. Additionally, the project aims to identify and support talented photographers, creating conditions that foster their development and enable the realization of their creative potential. The competition was organized by the Civil Registry Offices of the Republic of Adygea and the Kherson Region, the Adygea Regional Branch of the Union of Photo Artists of Russia, and the Maykop City Photography Club "Lagonaki," with the support of the Republic's Ministry of Culture.
