A: HISTORY
On 18 July 1992, the first ever festival of arts was staged in Vitebsk to give city residents and guests an idea of Slavonic song folklore. In 1993, the Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk became a member of the International Federation of Festival Organizations (FIDOF), broadening the geography of its participants. In 1999, the number of festival events turned 125. The festival was awarded the diploma 'FIDOF Festival of the Year 2000' "for impeccable quality of organization, professionalism, hospitality, and promotion of noble humanistic aims on the international level" From 1995 the Slavianski Bazaar was given the title of an International Festival of Arts. And in 2000 the Slavonic Bazaar hit a towering record by joining together on stage representatives of each and every Slavonic nation. The festival sign (logo) represents a graphic drawing of a cornflower (traditional for Slavic people), located on music notes. On the lines of the notes, symbolizing different music styles, there is a verbal logo "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" in Belarusian, which determines the permanent location of the festival. The name of the festival is repeated in Russian and English around the festival sign. Festival motto: "Through art - to peace and understanding!" This motto reveals the basic ideas of the International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk". These are the words for the festival participants, a call for peace, beauty, harmony and perfection.

C: CONTESTS
During the festival the contest of young singers under the name "Vitsebsk" is held. It has two stages, each held in a separate day. In the first day the contestants should perform the song in a national language of the country the contestant represents. All vocals are sung live using backing track. In the second day the contestants perform the song written by a composer from any Slavic country in any of the Slavic languages. On this stage all vocals must be sung live with the National Concert Orchestra of Belarus under Mikhail Finberg's conduction. The final decision is made by the international jury usually consisting of 10 people who are usually the former winners of the contest, the former contestants or the other celebrities. After the performance each jury gives points from 0 to 10 (although the nil has never actually been given). At the end of the second day all the points are summed up and the Grand Prix winner and other places holders are defined.

Children's contest during the festival in Vitsebsk was first held in 2003 thus becoming one of the stages of expansion of the cultural and artistic diversity of the event.
