In the early 1990s, a collection of new women's prose, The New Amazons, by a group of young female writers of the same name, was published. Since then, women's prose has become a recognised phenomenon in contemporary literature. This competition is a continuation of an important conversation that began three decades ago. The international literary competition "New Amazons" awakens interest in the self-realization of women in society, in the profession and in civic initiatives aimed at helping people. Affirms the values of women's social and creative experience and respects women's choice of their own life path. Promotes gender equality. The task of the competition jury is to identify the most talented women writers of different generations and to present the results of the competition to the wider public, encouraging creative debate.
