RRI invites you to participate in a new prize-winning contest devoted to Romanian sculpture. On February 19th 2006 it’s 130 years since one of the most outstanding sculptors of the 20th century, Constantin Brancusi was born in Hobita, Gorj county, in south western Romania. Regarded as the father of modern sculpture, Brancusi is just one of the outstanding sculptors Romania has “given” the world. One of them, Ion Irimescu died in late October 2005 aged 102.
The series of outstanding Romanian artists includes: Dimitrie Paciurea, George Apostu, Oscar Han, Ion Jalea, Cornel Medrea, Gheorghe Dimitrie Anghel, Constantin Baraschi, Gheorghe Iliescu-Cãlineºti, Constantin Lucaci, Frederik Storck, Paul Vasilescu, Vida Geza, Vlad Ciobanu, Mihai Buculei or Marcel Guguianu. The last one, 80 year old sculptor Marcel Guguianu is one of the main promoters and supporters, through the foundation he runs, of our contest.
So tune in to RRI’s programmes and access our site www.rri.ro, and provide correct and complete anwers, in writing, to the questions and you may be a winner of the contest. You should post your answers, at the latest, by March 31st, 2006.
The contest offers two Grand Prizes -two 10-day trips, for one person, with full board, at the end of June and the beginning of July 2006 in Bucharest (to visit the museums and workshops of some Romanian sculptors), in Targu Jiu (to get to know the birthplace and works of Brancusi) in Craiova (to get acquainted with one of the projects of the Guguianu Foundation) and in Bârlad (to see the Marcel Guguianu Exhibition Pavilion). As usual, you have to cover travel expenses outside Romania and get a visa for Romania, if necessary.
If you do not win the Grand Prize, don’t worry because there are many other prizes in objects related to the life and work of some important Romanian sculptors; they will be offered by the local authorities of Targu Jiu, the “Marcel Guguianu” Foundation, by renowned fine artists and by the two media partners of the contest: Radio Oltenia of Craiova and the newspaper “Gorjeanul”, of Târgu Jiu.
And now the questions:
- When did Constantin Brâncuºi live?
- In what Romanian city is the Marcel Guguianu Exhibition Pavilion located?
- Name at least 3 famous Romanian sculptors.
- Name several museums displaying works by Brancusi and Guguianu respectively.
Please write to us what made you particpate in the contest. You can send your answers to: Radio Romania Internaþional, 60-64 G-ral Berthelot street, sector 1, Bucharest, PO Box 111, code 010165, fax 00.40.21.319.05.62, e-mail: engl@rri.ro or eng@rri.ro.

Sun TV network emerges biggest FM radio bidder in South India.
After completion of the five-leg financial bidding process for the 337 frequencies in second phase of expansion of private FM radio, Sun TV network emerged as the single largest group claiming 67 frequencies at an estimated investment of over Rs 80 crore.
The government has managed to raise Rs 906 crore by way of one time entry fee (OTEF) from 280 stations being allotted against 337 available frequencies.
The bidding on Friday took place for 64 frequencies in 19 cities of the southern zone and resulted in a record collection of Rs 177.56 crore from B, C and D category cities. Coimbatore contributed Rs 19.15 crore, the highest OTEF for three frequencies. Anil Ambani-backed Adlabs too managed to bag eight out of 19 frequencies in southern region, thereby taking its total tally to 56 stations in India.
The five-leg bidding is part of the exercise undertaken by the ministry of information and broadcasting for allotting 337 frequencies to private companies in 91 cities across India. The process started on January 6 and the first four rounds of financial bidding resulted in the government raising a revenue of Rs 729 crore by way of OTEF from 227 stations being allotted against 274 available frequencies.
As per the rules, one company can only hold upto 15% of the total allotted frequencies. Companies like Adlabs (49 stations) and South Asia FM (56) have already crossed the 15% cut-off mark. According to I&B ministry officials, a final picture is likely to emerge once the companies bagging more than 15% of the allotment vacate some of their stations.

Radio Mirchi marches into Tirunelvelli and Tuticorin
Radio Mirchi marches into south India
Radio Mirchi marched into the southern states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala on Friday as the curtain came down on the second phase of bidding for private FM radio.
With the final round of bidding, government has sold about 280 radio stations across 91 cities, assuring it of revenues of around Rs 1,100 crore.
The second phase, which saw aggressive bidding by most of the players, gathered much interest after the government laid out a revenue share regime for it against the license fee structure of the first phase which proved to be disastrous.
Spread over five rounds, Phase II saw not only existing players bidding for new cities, but also new entrants like Adlabs of Anil Ambani and HT Music & Entertainment win licenses.
A new entrant, Century Communications bagged six cities — Mangalore, Gulbarga, Rajamundry, Tirunelvelli, Tuticorin and Warangal — for Rs 3.56 crore.
