The competition was about the city of Brasov, which in 2010 celebrates the 775th anniversary of its first mention in a historical document, as well as about the entire central Romania, a region with many tourist and cultural attractions.
Due to a deep economic crisis, the management of the Romanian public television and the local authorities in Brasov decided, a short time ago, to cancel the 2010 edition of the Golden Stag pop music festival, so the winners of the grand prizes of the competition will no longer be able to attend this festival. They will instead be able to enjoy the areas surrounding Brasov, one of the most popular tourist sites in Romania.
We received 378 correct entries to the competition. Thank you for your interest and hope you will participate in our future competitions as well.
The competition dedicated to Brasov enjoyed the support of a number of sponsors and partners, which we thank once again for their involvement. The competition was sponsored by Hotel Royal and the Cassandra guest house located in Poiana Brasov.
There are two grand prizes consisting in two 7-day stays at Hotel Royal and Cassandra guest house with full boarding between the 1st and the 8th of September.
But we have lots of other prizes as well offered by our partners and sponsors, including the County Council, the Brasov City, the Brasov County History Museum, the Brancoveanu-Sambata de Sus Monastery, the Union of Fine Artists in Brasov and the Libris Cultural Association.
