Children and teenagers from ten to sixteen years old will select the best pieces of writing. Any school child from Russia or abroad may become a jury member. Organizers of the award remind that this is a unique literary competition with the jury consisting of children and teenagers from ten to sixteen years old.

It is conducted already for the 8th time this year. Aya aNN (Irina Krestieva) won the contest last year. She was awarded for her novel Absolutely Desolated. The jury selected her book out of six hundred literary works.
