Interesting records set in Romania will be included in the country’s own version of the Guinness Book. The Romanian Arts, Music and Sports Federation, accredited by the Chamber of Deputies and the European Parliament, recently launched the “Romania of Records” project.

The initiative aims to discover skills that might represent Romania in international competitions.

The jury consists of composers, radio-TV hosts, well-known interpreters, journalists, expert teachers, and representatives of the Federation. The Facebook community will also have a say in the final vote. The nominations can be submitted via email, at artamuzicasport@gmail.com, and the registration form can be found on the event’s Facebook page here.

The multimedia materials have to be authentic and personal. All winners will appear in a photo album or a thematic calendar, edited by the Federation.
