In 2011, the MUZARTERIA contest united young people from all over the country to create songs about volunteering and donating blood. Blood Service invites everyone who cares about donation to take part in the contest. Over 600 songs were striving for the title of the best song of the donor movement. Only 10 participants from different cities of Russia reached the final and recorded their songs in duets with 10 famous Russian singers and performed together at the final concert in Moscow. The winning song was also filmed.
