The final event of the festival competition, which coincides with International Children's Day, is the first republican children's event held after the liberation of Shusha city from the Armenian occupation.

The Republican Art Festival Competition is organized by the Culture Ministry in partnership with the Ministry of Culture and the Shusha State Reserve Administration outside the Shusha Real School.
