The official opening of the superfinal of the 14th annual republican TV festival of working-youth creativity, "Beznen Zaman" ("Our Time"), took place in Kazan on 13 November. The superfinal runs on 13-14 November, and the gala concert is on 16 November at the Piramida cultural centre.

The main novelty this season is that the festival has gone international. Following a decision by Tatarstan's head Rustam Minnikhanov, teams from Udmurtia (Sarapul), Belarus, Kazakhstan, Türkiye and Uzbekistan perform alongside entrants from across Tatarstan. Hundreds of workers took part in the zonal rounds in Almetyevsk, Naberezhnye Chelny and Zelenodolsk.

Contestants compete in the categories Choreography, Music and Minute of Glory. The Grand Prix, the cups and the honorary titles "Hero of Our Time" and "Treasure of Our Time" will be announced at the gala concert.
