It should be noted that the declaration of 2025 as the "Year of Environmental Protection and 'Green' Economy" in our country has become an important initiative aimed at protecting nature. This, in turn, represents a significant step toward preserving harmony between humans and nature, the rational use of natural resources, and sustainable development. At the same time, it naturally fosters the social and spiritual activity and responsibility of creative individuals, inspiring them to produce new works of art.

The competition accepts poems, short stories, and works of art dedicated to the reforms taking place in the new Uzbekistan in the fields of rational use of natural resources, their restoration, the prevention of the negative impact of human activity on nature, improving sanitary and environmental conditions, educating a responsible generation, and strengthening a sense of respect for the Motherland and its benefits.

Creative works should be based on real-life examples reflecting ideas such as national values, the conservation and rational use of natural resources, the protection of flora and fauna, the achievements of outstanding individuals in this field, and their desire for prosperity and well-being.

To participate in the competition, you must submit your work along with your personal details (a copy of your passport and phone number) by May 20, 2025, to:

Tashkent City, Chilanzar District, Bunyodkor Street, Alley of Litterateurs (Writers' Union).

Works will also be accepted via email at: badiiy_adabiyot@mail.ru.
