During this activity, 9 editors wrote 99 new articles, and the most valuable editors of the campaign, Gzanag, Nikolina Šepić, and Sadko, will be awarded with book vouchers. We would especially like to highlight the efforts of these editors, as well as the editor under the user name Ljiljana Sundać, for the large number of articles written, but also to all other editors for their contribution to the preservation of the intangible cultural heritage, both of Serbia and of the whole world. Some of the topics of the articles included traditions and customs, traditional gastronomy, folk beliefs and religious traditions, various handicrafts, interesting national rituals, as well as places and organizations of cultural importance.
