The "Silver Archer" Award begins accepting applications for its anniversary season.

      17 November 2025, 16:05 Society The start of the 15th season of the regional communications award "Silver Archer" – Volga Region (18+) has been announced. This is a professional competition that brings together the best public relations, marketing and strategic communications specialists from across the Volga Federal District.

      Participation in the award opens up opportunities for exchanging experience, learning about advanced industry practices and gaining federal-level exposure. Winners of the regional stage get a chance to present their projects at the National "Silver Archer" Award, and the best project from the Volga Federal District will be automatically included in the shortlist.

      Applications are open on the official website and will be accepted until 22 December 2025. Participation in the competition is free.

      Projects are accepted in six categories:

      - Communications in the field of sustainable development: social and environmental projects;

      - Corporate communications;

      - Marketing communications;

      - Cultural and educational projects;

      - Communication in the field of creative industries;

      - Promotion of government and public programs.

      The competition takes place in two stages. First, a remote selection is held, resulting in a shortlist. Then, in January 2026, finalists will present their projects in person in Nizhny Novgorod. It is then that the laureates of the 15th regional award will be determined.

      According to the award’s executive director Anna Aizenshtadt, each year the award gathers up to a hundred applications from almost all regions of the Volga Federal District. "At the 'Silver Archer' they don’t just present cases — they set trends: creative, technological, and rich in regional color," she noted.
