Biber \u2013 short story contest on the topic of reconciliation has been closed.<\/p>\n

We would like to thank all those who contributed to making this contest a success, and particularly the 316 short story writers who sent us their stories.<\/p>\n

We were overwhelmed by the response and the number of stories, which gave us cause to hope because we believe it is important to talk about and promote reconciliation in different ways.<\/p>\n

A multi-language collection of short stories from the contest will be published in April this year, and will be promoted in a number of cities in the region, the promotions will be announced in due course.<\/p>\n

Another Biber contest will be organised in 2017.<\/p>\n

The jury commends the quality of the short stories, their poetic diversity and the high degree of awareness of the complexities of the contest topic. The three prize-winning short stories stand out for their balanced voices and different approaches to the issue of reconciliation, in particular the story that received the first prize, as well as their mastery of the writing process, literariness and clear political message.<\/p>\n

The jury is also glad to note that this literary contest brought together different authors, ranging from those with respectable literary experience to those making their first confident creative steps.<\/p>\n

The jury would like to thank all those who participated in the contest and wishes them success in their further literary endeavours.<\/p>\n
