Objectives:

• Support talented creative individuals.

The contest is held online: participants submit their photographs via the party's official website. A professional jury evaluates the entries based on criteria such as relevance to the theme, creative presentation, and the emotional depth of the images.

The best works were showcased in a special photo exhibition in Astana as part of the award ceremony. This year's exhibition continues this tradition, providing a platform to celebrate talented individuals from all corners of the country.
