The Jury was working for the four long hours trying to choose six best logos. They said that it was very hard to decide whose logo was better, their opinions were different. Finally the Jury defined the best logo out of the six they had chosen before.

It was the day when the representatives of DTRA, KBR and Kartaly administration came to CASAC to present the logo awards. Everybody was excited when they saw Americans entering the presentation room.
