The expert jury recognized the work of the author Ella Amatuni as the best.
"The Armenian Gampr is a breed of guard dog native to the Armenian Highlands, known for its strength, agility and endurance. The Gampr has a strong, massive body and thick fur that protects it in all weather conditions.
Being such a rare breed, it has become a unique symbol of the Armenian nation. Therefore, I believe that the Gampr is the perfect mascot to represent Armenia at the Ice Hockey World Championship," Ella said about her work.
Mascot Gampr will delight fans of the tournament, which will be held in Yerevan from April 13 to 19.
Congratulations to Ella!
