Now the artists of fine arts can receive their own award – the bronze figurine «Vera». According the results of the Festival the awards in 13 nominations are bestowed.

The award figurine «Vera» (which in Russian means «Faith») was made by the honoured artist of Russia V. Mitroshin, the sculptor, the author of many Russian and foreign awards’ prizes.
