His Beatitude Sviatoslav awarded the winners of the 11th All-Ukrainian Environmental Competition of the UGCC Ecology Bureau "Responsibility for Creation" at the New Energy University Research Campus. He thanked the contestants and wished them good prospects for personal growth.

The winners of the contest received certificates and gifts in the following categories: "Poem", "Fairy Tale", "Prayer", "Drawing", "Video". Also, the head of the Department of pastoral care of sports of the UGCC, father Oleg Kobel, won the nomination "Sermon".
