The application campaign for the #Myplace International Award has been extended until June 30.

The Organizing Committee of the International Award #My has extended the acceptance of applications for participation in the fifth anniversary season until June 30, 2025 due to the high interest in participation and a large number of applications from the regions of Russia and other countries.

The #My Place Award started on April 12 as part of the presentation of the national project "Youth and Children" at the National Center "Russia" and has already received more than 38 thousand applications from 130 countries around the world. The mission of the award is to strengthen the values of mutual assistance and charity as the norm of life.

Today in Russia, the leaders in the number of applications submitted are the Central, Volga and Southern Federal Districts. The top 5 regions include Moscow, the Moscow, Rostov, Samara Regions and the Krasnodar Territory, while the top 10 countries on the international track include India, Uzbekistan, Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya, Kazakhstan, Uganda, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States.

The national track of the award includes four categories — "Personality", "NGOs and Projects", "Companies" and "Territory" — and 12 nominations. Community leaders, commercial and non-profit organizations, as well as territories that have nominated their projects for the award in 2025, are developing volunteerism, helping people in difficult situations, taking care of animals and nature, preserving cultural heritage, and developing socially responsible businesses in the regions.

Within the framework of the international track there are two directions: "Sustainable Future" and "Human Assistance". Among the applications received are projects to preserve unique orchid species in Venezuela and biodiversity in Sri Lanka, programs that have already provided about 400,000 families with access to clean drinking water in Pakistan, and 3D prosthetics for people with disabilities in Colombia.

Award winners receive national and international recognition, opportunities to scale their projects, the help of experts and mentors, participation in major international events, travel, media support and promotion.

Applications for participation in the fifth season of the International Award #Myplace are submitted on the website "award.My place.Russian Federation" until June 30, 2025. The award ceremony will take place within the framework of the International Forum of Civic Engagement #Myplace, which will be held on December 2-5, 2025 in Moscow. Awards to the finalists are presented annually personally by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
