The eight winning schools of the Yianis Christodoulou Foundation’s LOVE CYPRUS 2023 competition on Monday evening were handed prizes totaling €180,000 at an award ceremony that sparkled.
The judging committee had the difficult task of choosing between hundreds of truly remarkable photos and videos submitted by Cypriot primary, secondary and technical/vocational schools.
In fact, having exceeded all expectations with almost 200 participations and 600 entries the foundation decided to increase the prizes this year from six to eight, and the prize money to €180,000 from €170,000.
The entertainment menu for the some 1,500 guests at Limassol’s Monte Caputo venue was certainly rich and memorable. To begin with, students from the winning schools performing traditional dances were more than impressive.
Thrilling was also the live performance by popular Greek singer Konstantinos Argyros who flew to Cyprus for the special occasion.
The judging committee comprised prominent businessman Yianis Christodoulou, acclaimed Cypriot singer Anna Vissi, Marianna Latsi and Christian Moore.
