Anatolijus
– 2003 laureates
In the end of January the ceremony of awarding the
winners of the maritime competition Anatolijus with unique prizes was organised
in Klaipeda for the fourth time already. Founders of the maritime award Anatolijus,
the international maritime business magazine JURA MOPE SEA and Klaipeda State Seaport
Authority, actually are creators of a new tradition in Lithuania.
During the four years the terms of the competition were amended and improved, the names of
the nominations changed as well. Now Anatolijus is indisputably recognized in the
maritime society and among businessmen, it enjoys the attention and support of the state.
This year the awarding ceremony of Anatolijus-2003 nominees and winners differed
from earlier ceremonials. Anatolijus changed its direction and starting with this
year the nominees are presented by maritime business structures, but not the founders.
Besides, the independent jury which elects the winners by secret ballot, is granted the
right to found new nominations. This year the jury founded a new nomination Distinguished
Seafarer.
The scenario of the awarding ceremony changes every year. This year the key of the
programme was the concert of the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra conducted by the famous
artist Saulius Sondeckis. A real present for the participants of the ceremony was
performance of the violin virtuoso Vilhelmas Cepinskis with the orchestra.
A big steering wheel of a ship was the main decorative accent on the stage where 23
nominees and 7 laureates of Anatoljius-2003 were honoured. The nominees were
awarded with Diplomas of Honour, and the laureates received statuettes of a bollard
symbolising the inseparable link between the sea and the shore. The author of the
statuette is an artist from Kaunas, a glass craftsman Viaceslavas Gibovskis.
The winner of the nomination Meritorious
