Programme

Announcement

The Estonian Kindred Peoples¹ Programme and the Association of
Finno-Ugric Literatures announce a literary prize contest among writers,
translators and literary critics belonging to the Uralic kindred
peoples¹ communities that have no nationhood.

The Estonian Kindred Peoples¹ Programme announces prizes in the
following categories of literature:

1. Literary fiction (novel, collection of novels, play).
2. Poetry.
3. Translated work (novel, collection of novels, collection of poetry,
play, collection of essays; preference is given to works translated from
Uralic languages).
4. Children¹s book.
5. Work in theory of literature (history of literature, literary
criticism, collection of essays, essays on social and political issues).

Works liable to be nominated to a prize include original fiction prose,
poetry, children¹s book, literary criticism, or translated fiction which
have been published during the last four years (2004-2007) as a book (in
exceptional cases also a journal publication not shorter than 30 pages).
Prizes are awarded for works written in Uralic languages, the literary
and linguistic qualities of which will be renowned by the expertise, and
they will therefore be a contribution to the preservation and
development of a native language.

The prize in each category of literature is 20,000 Estonian kroons; in
each category, the prize will be awarded to one author.

The prizes will be notified on 1^st November ­ the day commemorating the
execution of the Udmurt writer Kuzebai Gerdi.

Participation requirements:

Prize nominees (nominee proposers) should submit:

1. Two copies of a published work.
2. 1-2 letters of recommendation/ expert evaluation (in Estonian,

author¹s name (also pen name), date of birth, work place, home and work
place address and telephone numbers, fax and e-mail address (if available).
4. List of author¹s earlier publications, including translated works (in
Estonian, Russian, or English).

The jury will be reviewing works submitted to the contest once a year.

Application deadline: 1^st September. Submission of the required works
and documents should be directed to the Council of the Kindred Peoples¹
Programme:
