He stated that in this period, the books on the field of sacred defense and resistance, which were first published in 1404, will be evaluated, and added: In the 24th period, in addition to maintaining the main structure of the award, we have tried to provide a wider presence of writers, researchers, and publishers, and by designing new sections, we will pay attention to more capacities of sustainable literature.

Separation of international and translation departments in the new course Kamour Bakshaish said about the structural changes of this course: One of the important differences this year is the separation of international and translation departments. In the past periods, these two areas were evaluated in one section, but this year, each will be considered independently to enable a more specialized examination of the works.

He continued: In this regard, we have expanded our interactions with organizations and cultural institutions. Among other things, negotiations have been conducted with the Organization of Islamic Culture and Communications and we are pursuing a memorandum of understanding based on which the selected works of the award will be able to be translated and introduced to the audiences of other countries after the expert review of this organization.

We are trying to bring this matter into consideration both in specialized meetings and in the special sections of the award.

Kamor Bakshaish continued: We have planned to hold several meetings about the 12-day war and the Ramadan war, and works related to these issues will also be examined in the form of a special section.

He explained about the method of judging the works of this field: There are two ways to evaluate these books. First, each work should be judged in its specialized group, including fiction, documentary, children and teenagers, and other literary formats. The second solution is to review the works after evaluation in the main sections, in an independent and special group, so that it is possible to select and appreciate the outstanding works of this field.

The secretary of the award added: "We had a similar experience in the last period in the field of international literature, and now we are investigating which method can help better visibility of the works related to the 12-day war."

He emphasized: Paying attention to the literature of recent wars can be considered one of the most significant features of this era, and we hope that by designing various programs, the field of recording and wider reflection of the narratives and experiences of this era will be provided.
