Following the first six months of the third season of the "Far East – Land of Adventure" competition, 506 films were submitted for jury evaluation. This was announced by the project's initiator, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Yuri Trutnev.
"We want as many people as possible to discover the beauty of the Far East, to come to Sakhalin, Yakutia, the Magadan Region, and other Far Eastern regions, to walk existing trails or create their own tourist routes, and to share their experiences. That's why we created our "Far East – Land of Adventure" competition. Thanks to the films submitted, everyone will be able to experience an exciting adventure alongside those who have walked the land of the Far East," said Yuri Trutnev.
The largest number of films were made about travel in the Sakhalin Region (148 videos), Primorsky Krai (84 films), and Khabarovsk Krai (56 films). Thirty-seven videos were submitted about travel in the Amur Region, 32 videos about travel in the Jewish Autonomous Region, 25 and 23 films about the Zabaikalsky and Kamchatka Krais, respectively, and 21 videos about the Republic of Buryatia. Fourteen films were made about each of the Magadan and Murmansk Regions, 11 videos about the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, and seven videos about the Arkhangelsk Region. Six films each were submitted about tourist routes in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Komi Republic, five films each about travel in the Republic of Karelia, the Yamalo-Nenets and Chukotka Autonomous Okrugs, and three films about the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
The leader in terms of the number of applications received is the “Walking Journey” nomination – 323 films, the “Water Journey” nomination received 80 video works, the “Winter Journey” nomination – 33 videos, and the “Arctic Journey” nomination – 58 films.
Twelve films from the competition have been selected for the special "Paths of Victory" category. This category includes films about journeys to sites of military glory in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic zone of Russia. To submit an application for the "Paths of Victory" category, simply submit a film in one of the four main categories—hiking, water, winter, or Arctic travel—and the competition jury will then select your film for the special category.
Additionally, the competition offers a special prize of 1 million rubles for the best trip to Chukotka. This special category has been announced again this year by the regional leadership.
We remind you that applications for the third season of the all-Russian competition for the best travel experience, "The Far East – Land of Adventure," are being accepted until January 15, 2026. To participate, you must create a short film up to 8 minutes long about your trip to the Far East or the Arctic and submit it through the website puteshestvendv.rf. The trip must have taken place no earlier than May 1, 2023, and no later than January 15, 2026. Video footage shot with both professional cameras and mobile devices is acceptable; quality is not a deciding factor. The main requirement is that the trip must be completed without the use of motorized vehicles. Footage featuring motorized vehicles is acceptable if it shows the route to the starting point of the route.
The competition has four main categories: hiking, boating, winter travel, and Arctic travel. Two special categories have also been established: "Paths of Victory" and "Best Chukotka Trip." The grand prize for the best video is 3 million rubles.
The competition is organized with the support of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Far Eastern Federal District, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, the Far East and Arctic Development Corporation, and the Social Initiatives Development Fund.
