The exhibition features 150 works by young people under the age of 25 who live in or have traveled through the regions along the Great Silk Road.

About 60 of the best photographs from the competition have been included in a professional photo album called "Youth Lens on the Silk Road." These will be showcased in exhibitions worldwide.

The exhibition, which runs until July 20 this year, includes works by both our compatriots and young foreign photographers who chose to present the culture, traditions, and customs of Uzbekistan as a demonstration of their photographic skills.
