Conducted in collaboration with the Children's Cultural Center Durres, the project was designed to encourage pupils to collect information on Albanian Olympic sport and present it in the form of a video to the nation's National Olympic Committee.

The competition was held in two phases with the best 12 entries progressing to the second stage before a commission, set up by the Commission of Culture at the National Olympic Committee, selected the three winners.

Hasan Koci, Shaqa Mazreku and Eftali Koci were named first, second and third in the competition respectively, with prizes including a certificate, a medal and a financial contribution to the school in which they represent.

The winning video is also set to be uploaded to the National Olympic Committee of Albania YouTube channel in due course.

Following the competition the National Olympic Committee of Albania praised the cooperation and hard work of the Department of Sports and Culture in recent years, with the Children's Cultural Center Durres presenting the Department with a Certificate of Gratitude for their work towards promoting Olympic sport in schools across the country.
