And as predicted the most applications were sent from such regions as Baltics and Nordics, but every year the event becomes more and more international, and we are very happy to see Australia, Kosovo, Puerto Rico, Gambia, Armenia, and more represented. This year the applications were sent in from 37 countries in total, indicating the global scope of our competition.
