The Creativity Marathon organized by the Ministry of Culture in Shusha on December 2-3 has come to an end.
The marathon, which was held as part of the closing events of the Youth Capital, focused on animation, fashion, film, and design as its main directions.
Bringing together young talents from Islamic countries, the Creativity Marathon served as a unique platform to promote cooperation and the creation of innovative works in various creative fields.
During the marathon, 14 teams of international and local participants developed their products within 24 hours under the guidance and support of experienced mentors in the specified fields.
On December 3, the teams presented their work to the jury.
After the evaluation by the jury, the winners of the marathon were announced, including "Little Simurg" in the animation category, "Last Night" in the film category, "Gothica" in the fashion category and "Millennium" in the design category.
The project, developed in line with the "Socio-Economic Development Strategy of the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2022-2026," aimed to promote innovative and creative thinking among young people. The main goals of the "Creative Azerbaijan" program, which is implemented in support of this strategy, are to create favorable conditions for creative industries and related businesses in the country, to promote the export of products and services of this sector, and to open new consumer markets.
The organization of the marathon with a focus on these goals demonstrates the possibilities for the emergence of a new pan-regional market in the field of creative industries.
