This is the first Asian vocal contest, in which performers from 12 countries participate: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and South Korea.
Turkmenistan is also represented in the jury of the contest. Honored Artist of Turkmenistan, outstanding conductor and director of the State Symphony Orchestra of Turkmenistan Rasul Klychev, will evaluate the participants.
According to the organizers, 10 episodes will be filmed, and the broadcast in three languages – Kazakh, Chinese and English – will provide an audience of more than a billion people.

In support of the young artist from Turkmenistan, his compatriots are sending him a line from a song with lyrics by the National Leader of the Turkmen people Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, which sounded like the anthem of the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games: “Oňe, öňe, diňe öňe, jan Watanym Türkmenistan!”
