The Department for the Development of the Socially Important Goods Industry under the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation announces a rating contest of Russian organisations in the children's goods industry “Made for Childhood”.

The contest is available for participation of any Russian organisation submitting an application to the Department, enclosing a checklist and balance sheet copies for three years with a tax authority stamp, along with additional information.

The contest is aimed at supporting domestic producers in the field of the children's goods industry. Prizes will be given to top ten companies that ensure the high quality of the children's goods or services they manufacture or render. This, in turn, would enhance the image of Russian enterprises, allow them to establish contacts with consumers, and increase the proportion of Russian-made goods in the market.

Regional organisations, institutions, and enterprises have a free opportunity to tell the children about the specific areas of their activities, thereby prompting the younger generation to choose one or another occupation in any industry.
