Debut Prize

The Debut Prize is an award for young authors of literary works in the Russian language.[1][2]

Established in 2000 by the International Pokolenie (Generation) Foundation,[3] the prize is awarded annually in five to seven categories reflecting the major fiction genres.

In 2012, the Debut Prize winners toured the eastern USA[4][5][6] and participated in the Festival of Russian Arts in New York.[7]

History

The Debut Prize was first awarded in 2000,[8] with financial support from Andrei Skoch.[9] At that time the maximum age of the winners was 25. In 2011, however, the threshold was changed, and now the prize can be awarded to authors who are under the age of 35.

During the first five years of the award, more than 170,000 manuscripts were submitted from Russia, many European countries, former members of the Soviet Bloc, the United States, Israel, Australia and Japan. In 2007, the "Young Russian World" prize was created for writers living outside the Russian Federation (regardless of nationality).

Selection of the winners

Written works may be nominated by publishers, the media, literary organizations, or the authors themselves. Tens of thousands of texts are nominated each year. After the texts are read in e-reader form by literary experts, a list of recommended candidates with a brief annotation of each work is sent to be read by a jury composed of five to seven writers, critics, editors and other members of the literary and cultural process. The composition of the jury changes each year.[10]

Based on the initial list, the jury forms a shortlist of three to four works in each category. The jury then conducts weekly creative workshops with the finalists. On the evening before the awards are announced, the jury holds a closed session to determine the winners in all categories.

The announcement of winners and presentation of awards takes place at a reception in December of each year.

The prize

Winners in all categories receive a Bird award and a publishing contract with the Pokolenie Foundation worth one million rubles. Works of the winners and finalists of the Debut Prize are published annually in collections and individual books. The winners in all categories receive publication fees, and those on the shortlist are provided with 20 author copies.
