This contest enhances young women's information literacy and develops their skills in using reliable sources, while also increasing their activity in disseminating knowledge about women. Furthermore, the contest helps widely promote the achievements of women in various spheres of social life. By holding this contest, organizers also contribute to raising public awareness about the role and successes of women in science, education, culture, art, and sports, as well as their contribution to societal development.
