In 2024, the Runet Prize was held for the 21st time. The main stage was set at the Tretyakov Gallery, which became the defining element of the event's creative concept.

For the 15 award categories, we created original paintings in the style of Russian artists, each reflecting key events in the internet industry. That’s how we got bears in the forest discovering a new web portal, Anna Akhmatova exploring a new online platform for poets, the opening of an internet café through the eyes of Petrov-Vodkin, and other imaginative scenes.

We used a neural network to generate the visuals and enhanced them with hand-drawn animation and painterly brushstroke effects, further emphasizing the unique status and format of the event.
