A real gift for the participants and spectators of the competition for young pop singers was the holding of the final round of the Ýylyn Parlak Ýyldyzy (“Shining Star of the Year”) competition for the first time in the new city of Arkadag. There, on the site of the Trade Complex, under the bright rays of the spotlights, ten young talents performed, charming the jury and audience with their beautiful singing art. It is symbolic that a new young galaxy of stars of the musical horizon lit up in the city of Arkadag in the year “Happy Youth with Arkadag Serdar”. The main prize and the Challenge Cup were awarded to Bahar Annayeva.
