Promotion of Cypriot tradition and art

The new initiative of the Yianis Christodoulou Foundation provided opportunities to promote creativity among the student population to upgrade their schools, a purpose that attracted the attention of young creators.

The participation of student teams in the LOVE CYPRUS competition was unexpectedly high, causing feelings of joy and emotion to Mr. John Christodoulou. The huge number of participants sends out strong messages, proof of the strong will of our students to improve their school environment, and the teachers' genuine interest in a modern and attractive school system for children, as well as a testament to parents' great concern for education, which reflects the whole of the Cypriot society’s concern.

Under the motto 'LOVE CYPRUS' all creations (photos, videos) promote Cyprus, not only as a summer tourist destination but also as a country characterized by great tradition and culture, hospitality, arts, customs and natural beauties.

Increased prizes and prize money due to huge interest and impressive projects

The submission of more than 600 outstanding projects that impressed with their effort, innovation, creativity, and colorfulness of ideas, "forced" the F.I. Yianis Christodoulou Foundation to increase the prizes to 8 (from 6) with a corresponding increase in money rewards to €180,000 (from €170,000), i.e. €50K, €25K, €10K and €5K in each category (photo/video).

At the same time, Mr. John Christodoulou is exploring other actions, in cooperation with the State and other institutions, to further exploit the truly wonderful – to their majority – entries.
