In 2018 more than 4 700 students from 207 schools participated in the competition and submitted their creative works. We had the pleasure to read many interesting fairytales, exciting stories, thought-provoking essays, and sentimental poems. Each year we are captivated by their uniqueness, variety of writing techniques and richness of the language.
On February 8th and 9th all participating schools organized their “writing hour”. The youngest participants were asked to explore the worlds of a monster, a girl who danced with a wizard and a wild toothbrush. If we tried to combine the topics of the 7th graders into one, it would sound like “The rain was pouring on the curious bridge, while I was hiding behind the sofa”. All of the winners in the 8th grade category wrote on the same topic - “This train doesn’t stop there anymore”, yet each of them put their own creative spin. The 9th graders entered a world where shadows are playing at midnight on the bridge and there was a lot of mystery interwoven in their pieces. “The orange duck who loved parachuting” – this was our provocation to test the creativity of the students from 10th grade. The winning pieces of writing of the 11th graders all told a story about life on the other side and all of them impressed us with their abstract understanding of the topic.
On April 14th, 2018 at the American University in Blagoevgrad we celebrated the achievements of this year’s winners and their teachers. All participants had the opportunity to visit the university campus and participated in a creative writing workshop. The award ceremony itself is a very special occasion and a true celebration of creativity. During the course of the evening we presented all winning works and had the opportunity to meet the young writers and their teachers. The award ceremony marked the closing of this year’s campaign and we are now looking forward to next year.
