Administration of the Historical-architectural Reserve "Icherisheher" announces the holding of the Literary Contest!

The aim of the contest is not only looking for talented authors, but also creation of a collection of the stories about the most striking episodes from the life of the city. 

Baku is the city where every house and street keep dozens of secrets and exciting stories. In your texts, fiction may be intertwined with the real stories, and the city itself may act as the main character as well as scenery/background for the described events. The organizers considered it is important to liberate the authors from any genre restrictions and historical periods during which the narrative unfolds. 

The main condition is that any corner of Baku serves as an inspiration for your work, and the story itself is inspiring and positive. It does not matter whether your hero walks along the winding streets of Icherisheher or one of the streets of Baku villages. It does not matter whether the story is made up by you from the beginning till the end, told by your friends or drawn from the treasury of the family legends.
