The participants and spectators were welcomed by the chairperson of the jury, Head of the Culture Sector of the District Executive Committee, Elena Borodeiko, who noted: "Artists at such competitions can not only compete in creative skills but also sing about love for our Belarus, and praise the culture of our country with song!"

This year, both new young voices and participants from previous years took to the stage. 14 contestants aged 16 to 35 demonstrated their skills, performing two songs: the first song was of a civic-patriotic theme, "Songs about war have not become obsolete, it is not time to put them in reserve...", and the second was a Belarusian hit.
