Contest 27 and 28 December

Αγαπητοί συνάδελφοι και φίλοι των ρ/ε διαγωνισμών, σας εύχομαι Χρόνια Πολλά, Καλά και Ευτυχισμένα.
Αισίως βρισκόμαστε μόλις μια ανάσα από το 2015 και αυτό το Σαββατοκύριακο είναι το τελευταίο του έτους.
Μόλις δύο μέρες μετά τα Χριστούγεννα και ίσως κάποιοι έχουν διάθεση, μετά το hangover των Χριστουγέννων, να ανοίξουν τον ασύρματο για να παρακολουθήσουν ή ακόμα και να λάβουν μέρος σε κάποιον διαγωνισμό.
Οι πιο τολμηροί λοιπόν, αυτό το Σαββατοκύριακο θα ακούσουν τους παρακάτω διαγωνισμούς.

Καλή διασκέδαση και καλό Σαββατοκύριακο. ;)
