December 3, 2013. The Director-General of Uralvagonzavod Scientific & Production Corporation won the End-of-Year Results in the Urals & Siberia Prize in the category called Lobbyist of the Year. The holding itself won in the category called Information Policy of the Year, the corporation’s press service reports.

The End-of-Year Results in the Urals & Siberia Prize ceremony took place for the eighth time this year, with prizes awarded in 23 categories. Just like in the previous years, the winners were selected among politicians, businesspeople, and public figures who made the most significant contribution to the development of the Urals and Siberia; they were given certificates and a seven-pointed star. The winners were traditionally decided upon by a board of experts in the course of three selection stages.

This year, the event coordinators also ran electronic voting for all those willing to select winners in two categories: Diplomat of the Year and Social Project of the Year.
