    На самом мероприятии не была. Поэтому о качестве провдения ничего не скажу. Но обратной связи с организаторами нет. Письма на электронную почту остались без ответа. И не понятно, как за день до фестиваля - ты финалист, а потом через неделю после фестиваля - ты полуфиналист. Обычно хронология событий наоборот)))
