If you will be an S1 or S2 pupil in August 2013, you are eligible to enter The Pushkin Prizes. So now's the time to start planning your folio of three pieces of writing - stories, poems, plays, articles, memoirs on any subject. You choose. You'll find all the rules and guidelines here on this website. 

In August we'll be launching The Pushkin Prizes 2013 at the Edinburgh International Book Festival and sending information to every secondary school in Scotland, so check in then for the closing date.

Pushkin Prizes in St Petersburg

Schools in St Petersburg can contact our Director, Natalya Ushmanova, if they have pupils interested in entering The Pushkin Prizes. She is already in touch with many of the city's schools.

Russian entrants submit one piece of writing in Russian and English. Their entries are shortlisted by our Russian judges, Tatiana Cheriskova, Yasnov Davidovich and Alexey Shervchenko and the winners selected by the Scottish judges.

Please contact Lindsey Fraser via the contacts page and she will forward all requests for information.
