Annual Literary Contest 'Ana' to be held by Georgia's Ministry of Culture in 2025
Annual Literary Competition for the 'Ana' Prize Opens Submissions
The Ministry of Culture of Georgia has announced the launch of the annual literary competition for the 'Ana' Prize. This competition, focused on literature, aims to support, showcase, and encourage women writers.
The competition, established in 2022 in honor of the Georgian poet Ana Kalandadze, invites contemporary works by female authors published in the previous year, or unpublished manuscripts prepared for publication during the past year. Works originally written in a foreign language and translated into Georgian are also eligible.
The competition encompasses multiple categories: Best Prose, Best Poetry, Best Translation, and Best Work on a Woman's Theme. Interestingly, one category allows both male and female authors to participate with works centered on women's themes.
Authors may submit works to multiple categories, but only one work per category is permitted. If a participant wins in multiple categories, they will receive the prize for each award individually.
Winners in each category will receive a certificate and a prize of GEL 5,000. The deadline for submissions is 12:00 PM on September 30, 2025.
Submissions can be made either in person at the Ministry's address (4 Sanapiro Street, Tbilisi) or electronically via the email: [email protected].
The current organizer of the competition is not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results, but the competition continues to serve as a platform for recognising and celebrating the literary works of women writers in Georgia.
