Silver Archer Awards unveil jury for Far East communications showcase

The jury for the 15th Silver Archer Regional Awards in Communications—Far East has now been confirmed. This year's competition will assess 35 projects aimed at boosting development across Russia's Far Eastern regions. Organisers have also introduced a new category for event-based communications.

Experts from five regions—Moscow, Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai, Kamchatka Krai, and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)—will judge the entries. The highest number of submissions came from Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krais, with many focusing on cultural and educational initiatives. A fresh addition, the 'Event Communications' category, now recognises projects tied to business and public gatherings.

The shortlist of finalists will be revealed on February 11. Those selected will present their work publicly in Khabarovsk later that month. The awards ceremony itself is scheduled for February 26, where the most effective and impactful communications projects will be honoured.

The winning projects will be chosen for their contributions to regional growth. Finalists will have the chance to showcase their efforts before the ceremony. The event highlights ongoing work to strengthen communications across Russia's Far East.
