"The 'More Than a Journey' Award has confirmed its nationwide status. Nearly 8,000 applications were submitted from across the country. The award brings together those who, through travel across our vast Motherland, help instill spiritual and moral values, a sense of patriotism, and love for their country in young Russians. Applicants include students and teachers, museums and large industrial enterprises, tour guides, and representatives of the tourism and hospitality industries. The wide audience's interest in the award demonstrates the great potential of educational work with young people through educational tourism trips," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The authors of applications for the award included entrepreneurs, tour operators, and specialists in the field of youth policy and patriotic education.
"Seventy-two finalists have reached the final round of the All-Russian 'More Than a Journey' Prize. Their initiatives were selected by experts in absentia. The projects presented include patriotic routes, tours of industrial plants and nuclear cities, and media projects that reveal the distinctive character of cities and the unique cultural codes of their regions. The finalists will now present their projects in person, after which the best authors will be selected. In addition to expert assessments, the results of a public vote, which will begin in November, will be taken into account when determining the winners. The names of all the laureates will be announced on December 24 at the awards ceremony at the National Center "Russia," said Grigory Gurov, Head of Rosmolodezh.
The nominees were evaluated by experts based on general and category-specific criteria. The participants with the highest scores advanced to the finals.
An important part of the finalists' preparation for the in-person defense of their initiatives is the educational component: participants participate in online lectures and master classes from the Rosmolodezh leadership, media industry leaders, business leaders, and public organizations. The finalists learn about effective communications, attracting tourists, personal branding, and working with public initiatives.
The RosPatriotCenter of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs held a webinar for award nominees on the topic "Meaningful Tourism: How to Foster Patriots Through Travel." Participants discussed how traveling around the country helps young people discover Russia's history and culture and strengthen their sense of pride in their homeland. In 2025, the RosPatriotCenter of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and the "More Than a Journey" program organized a patriotic tourism camp for youth on Shumshu Island, where participants learned about the legendary Kuril Landing Operation.
The finalists also participated in other themed master classes and presentations by invited experts on the educational platform. All subscribers of the "More Than a Journey" program community on VKontakte can watch the webinar broadcasts.
