We were also called out - we won the golden plaque. That sent us to the second round, competing for the large goblet "Zlatna lipa Tuhlja". Out maestro Josip degl' Ivellio conducted three of his choirs and all of them won a paque: Mixed singing choir Emil Cossetto Zagreb won the bronze plaque and Croatian singing club Slavulj Petrinja won the silver plaque.
In the second round with us competed:
- Vocal ensemble "Sakcinski", Ivanec

The second round was trully special and drew out all the best that choirs could offer. The large goblet prand prix "Zlatna lipa Tuhlja" went to the Female choir "Carmen manet"
We're very grateful on out prize and are accepting it as the result of the labor we invested in this year and a half of existence. Through our eyes, the bigges prize was the thundering applause from the audience which trully touched our hearts.
