Once the results of the semifinal are known, the winning entrants will be decided by a panel of judges at the Banki.ru press center.

Of the five winners in each age group, the entrants awarded first and second prizes can look forward to a holiday in Cyprus for two and an Apple iPad, respectively. Other prizes, which include professional art kits, cameras, and graphic tablets, will be shared by the finalists and based on the number of votes they received in the semifinal.
