The procedure for rewarding winners of prestigious international and republican competitions in the fields of culture, art, and literature has been established in Uzbekistan.
According to the government decision, winners of international competitions will be awarded 300 million sums for the Grand Prix and 1st place, 200 million sums for 2nd place, and 100 million sums for 3rd place. In republican competitions, these amounts are 100, 50, and 25 million sums, respectively.
Teachers and accompanists who prepared the winners will also be paid a monthly bonus for one year. The bonus is set at 70–100 percent of the official salary for international competitions, and 40–70 percent for republican competitions.
To receive the award, the competition must meet established criteria, and the application must be submitted within 30 days after the competition ends. The reimbursement of participation expenses for winners and their mentors is also provided.
Starting from January 1, 2027, cultural, art, and literature competitions funded by the state budget will be mandatorily included in the "National Competitions Platform".
