The competition for decorating the centre of Kyiv for Euro-2012 has been won by an architectural design from Colombia.

Second place went to representatives of Britain and third was shared between Japan and the USA. Two architectural offices from Russia, Norway, Australia and the Netherlands received diplomas as finalists. The winner will receive a 10,000 Euro prize and the others awards of 2,000 Euros.
