And the best project of the season is a grand prize worth 1,000,000 rubles.

Thanks to participation in the competition, enthusiastic authors can make themselves known, find support from partners and sponsors, increase their own competencies and improve business processes within projects.

“Over the three years of the competition, more than 11 thousand projects from all over Russia took part in it. In the fourth season of “You’re in the Game,” we decided to separate projects that develop corporate sports and sports tourism into separate categories, adding two new partnership categories to the main competition categories. Interest in a healthy lifestyle has become a popular trend in our country in recent years. We welcome people’s desire to pay attention not only to their health, but also to involve others in an active lifestyle,” notes Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The authors of the 250 best applications will have access to an educational accelerator that will help them improve their skills in sports management and strengthen their competencies. For the 25 projects that made it to the finals, an educational program on presentation design and public speaking is provided.

“Over the three years of its implementation, the “You’re in the Game” competition has gone beyond the scope of a regular project; it attracts more and more active participants, giving them the opportunity not only to implement initiatives, but also to scale their work and gain specialized knowledge, learn from the experience of experts. An important part of the competition is the formation of a community of like-minded people, the opportunity to develop their competencies and announce their project throughout the country,” noted Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Oleg Matytsin.
