From August to November 2025, the Donetsk Regional Palace of Children's and Youth Creativity held the annual regional open festival of Ukrainian songs "With Ukraine in Your Heart!" — an event that has been inspiring children and young people for many years, giving them self-confidence and a love of Ukrainian songs.
This year, the artistic celebration took place in a remote format, but this did not diminish its emotionality and drive in any way. The festival brought together a large creative family: 190 video works from bright and courageous singers from the territorial communities of Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Myrnohrad, Toretsk, Druzhkivka, Dobropillia, Selidovo, Mariinka, and Cherkasy.
It is especially gratifying that this year talented vocalists from Kyiv and Volodymyr joined the singing circle, as the festival is becoming more open, larger in scale, and more recognizable far beyond the region.
Participants competed in five age categories in the nominations "Pop Vocal" and "Folk Vocal," presenting two different Ukrainian-language works — sincere, meaningful, full of warmth and love for their native land.
The jury selected the winners:
✨ First prize winners — 31 participants
✨ Second prize winners — 21 participants
✨ Third prize winners — 12 participants
We sincerely congratulate all the winners and each participant of the festival!
May Ukrainian songs continue to unite hearts, give strength and hope, and open up boundless horizons.
