14.01.2019


The National Big Book prize opens new season on January, 14, reports its official website. Literary works are accepted until February, 28. 

The Head of Experts commission Mikhail Butov wished to potential contestants to write books that would “overcome country borders and get world feedback.” “We hope to find certain stylistic and thematic diversity – to let each book realize in its very own way,” said Mr Butov. 

Novels, narratives, story compilations, documentary prose and memoirs that have a publishing contract from 01.01.2018 to 28.02.2019 can participate in the competition.
