“Nowadays, the majority of adults are addicted to gadgets. They talk to each other on mobile phones, chat with each other and search for information in the internet. They seem to be close to their children, but in fact, the children lack parental attention. Very often, parents do not realize that they hurt their children,” says 16-year-old director.
Aibek has been invited to attend the award ceremony scheduled for June 1 in Austria. As per a letter from organizers, the winner will be awarded 2000 euro from the Austrian Ministry of Family and youth.

Children and young people aged 10-25 are invited to join the contest as individuals, groups or classes. Videos should not exceed 30 sec. Winning videos will be broadcast on television, social networks, new media and websites. The prize money per category is 2,000 Euro.
