The contest results will be determined in the following categories:
“The History of My Street” — a story about the history of the street where the contest participants live;
“The History of My House” — the participant must tell the story of the house in which they live or in which their relatives (parents, grandparents) live;
“The Irkutsk History of My Family.”
