The contest is open to both established and unpublished authors writing in Albanian, Macedonian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Croatian or Serbian.

Contest Theme

The theme for the first two Biber contests was reconciliation, but this time we have expanded it. In addition to stories about reconciliation in the context of the aftermath of the wars and violence in the countries of former Yugoslavia, the contest will now also accept stories contributing to better understanding among people, reducing hatred and dismantling prejudice, anti-war stories, stories about dealing with the past, deconstructing images of the enemy, empathy, courageous stories that dare walk in the “enemy’s” shoes, stories that push boundaries and open up the way to build a more stable, safer and freer future for all.

 

The contest is open until 10 June 2019.

At least twenty selected stories will be published in a multilingual collection.

The jury is made up of Lejla Kalamujić, Rumena Bužarovska and Shkelzen Maliqi.

The decision of the jury will be made public by the end of October 2019.

 

The contest is organised by the Biber team, with the support of the Centre for Nonviolent Action Sarajevo-Belgrade.

With this contest, we also want to contribute to a culture of translation and publication of authors from neighbouring countries and support activist authors in their continued efforts towards social change.
