Out of eleven final projects submitted, three projects were voted for by the public to receive the award. A record number of 16,900 votes were tallied! The winners of this democratic vote were the Rēzeknes preschool "Jāņtārpiņš" (3052), Riga's kindergarten "Riekstiņš" (3040 votes), and Audriņi Elementary School (3002 votes).

"Jāņparkins" is a kindergarten located in Rēzekne. Thanks to the fund's financing, plans are now underway to install doors equipped with a video cameras and intercoms. Educators and employers will no longer have to leave children unattended to open the entrance door, they will be able to remotely unlock the door and calmly carry out their duties at any time of day.
