“They all deserve great applause. It is a competition, so it has its own rules, and hence there are prizes and distinctions. However, one thing is certain – there are no losers at this Festival. Because all the children and young people who sing here give from their heart and give us their smile. They are an example to us adults how not to give in, how to appreciate life. Phil Bosmans once wrote: “Heaven starts on earth, where people become friends, and kindness is passed on. Let’s open our hearts to joy. Let’s open our soul to the world”. That is why I would like to thank everyone who helped these wonderful young people open their hearts to joy and their soul to the world, thanks to which they had a piece of heaven in Ciechocinek,” she said announcing the jury’s verdict.
