More than 150 students from schools and universities took part in the festival. The competition consisted of two stages. During registration, participants took part in the musical interactive part of the event and competed in various entertainment categories. Participants were photographed and filmed, posting their creative ideas with the hashtag # BrandsBattle2021 on various social networks. The award for the top 5 best photo/video ideas under the hashtag                   # BrandsBattle2021 was given out in an envelope of 500 KGS by SMS taxi.
