RESULTS OF SECOND REPUBLICAN DISABLED WOMEN'S BEAUTY PHOTO COMPETITION ANNOUNCED
YEREVAN, APRIL 8, NOYAN TAPAN. The results of the Second Republican
Disabled Women's Beauty Photo Competition organized by the NGO Unison
were summarized on April 6. 40 disabled women between the ages of
16 and 40 presented their photos for the competition. According to
Unison's executive director Armen Alaverdian, the purpose of the
competition is to show to the public that "disability does not close
the doors of beauty in women's face." "The society should perceive
the disabled as normal people, while the disabled themselves should
take a more active part in all sorts of events and in general be
able to live a life of full value," he noted. The organization
instituted prizes in the following nominations: Miss Beauty, Vice
Miss, Miss Charm, Miss Smile, as well as 6 encouraging prizes. In
the above nominations, 18-year-old Svetlana Grigorian, 25-year-old
Gohar Stepanian, 22-year-old Ruzanna Martirosian (all from Yerevan)
and 22-year-old Anahit Khachatrian (from Abovian) were announced the
winners. Unison also held a competition of disabled authors, at which
over 80 paintings, ceramic articles, tapestries and needleworks were
presented. Hasmik Mnatsakanian from Artashat, David Gabrielian and
David Babayan from Yerevan were awarded prizes in the nominations
"Tapestry and Needlework", "Painting" and "Engraving and Ceramics".
