Despite all the efforts on the side of eYouwins 2011 organizers, unfortunately we have to inform you that because we have recently stayed without our biggest investor, we can't organize Festival this year.
Despite all the good will, we are not in the position where we can get enough of the resources to keep this Festival well organized.
We are hoping that next year we will be able to continue with our tradition.
