Five finalists of the competition had the opportunity to present their stories to the jury, which included People's Writer Chingiz Abdullayev, director of the Baku Book Centre Gunel Rzayeva, the founder of the Ali and Nino chain of stores Nigar Kocharli, as well as the poetess, author of the Söz (Word) project Nigar Hasanzade.

The project organizers also plan to publish a literary almanac with the support of the Ça??o?lu Publishing House in the near future, which will include new, more voluminous works by the winners of the competition.

Notably, SmArt Community is a platform that brings together people of the same interests. The goal of the project is to form a community of energetic and successful people who strive for self-development and are open to new ideas.
