 The most interesting solution to the first case was proposed by Kseniya Krylova, a third-year student of the Institute of Journalism of the Belarusian State University, while the most creative solution to the second case was proposed by Igor Nikolaenko and Ekaterina Pashkova.

The winners of the competition obtained valuable prizes and an opportunity to take an internship with the UN Population Fund.
