20 competing songs by young artists from Albania and all Albanian territories took to the stage of the third night of the festival, presenting beautiful emotions to the public.

“I feel very excited, this is the second edition for me to participate”, said Samuel Martaneshi.

“I did not think about this award at all. I dedicate this award to my classmates who have supported me “, said Irsa Mashi.

For the first time in this festival, the “Kujtim Alija” award given in honor of the master conductor of the festivals, Kujtim Alija went to the choir of this edition. For composer Zef Çoba and author of the text Alfred Çapaliku, the children’s song festival is an anthem that gives young artists the opportunity to showcase their musical talent.

 “The song also summarizes in its content, all the contribution that our teachers have given, ourselves and the following generations that will come on the stage of this festival”, said the composer Zef Çoba.

 “This is the most beautiful thing that Shkodra does, combines talents, combines traditions, combines victories and knows no losses”, said lyricist Alfred Çapaliku.

In the 60th jubilee edition of the children’s festival in Shkodra, in addition to the song competition, there was also a fireworks display and other performances.
