On Sunday, November 16, from 12:00 to 15:00, Auditoria Budva will host the second charity book garage sale dedicated to World Children's Day.
All proceeds from the event will go towards helping those supported by the Pristanište Foundation.
The organizers invite everyone to bring books—adult and children's, fiction and nonfiction, magazines and albums. The main thing is that the publications are in good condition and, if possible, published after 2000. However, older books that are ready to find new readers will also be accepted.
Until November 15, books can be dropped off at collection points:
After sorting by book experts, all publications that are not sold will be added to the Pristanište library collection.
The fair will feature master classes for children, opportunities to participate in creative activities, and a space for sharing stories about favorite books.
Visitors will be able to purchase books at nominal prices, enjoy themselves, and support a charitable initiative.
What Are the Objectives of the Award?
The primary goal of the Award is to support authors and promote Russian-language literature worldwide. We welcome all who write and read in Russian, regardless of citizenship or place of residence. We aim to foster a Russian-language culture free from political and imperial influences.
How Is the Award Process Conducted?
The Prize is awarded annually. The Jury holds a vote in which each member selects between one and three works. The author whose work receives the highest number of votes becomes the winner.
What Awards Are Provided?
The Prize winner receives a grant for the translation of their work into English, French, and German.
When Does the Submission Period for the Competition Start and End?
Submissions for the third season of the prize will open on July 15, 2026, and close on October 15, 2026.
When will the list of finalists and winners be announced?
On January 20, 2027, the Council of Experts will announce the shortlist. The Independent Jury will announce the winner on May 25, 2027.
What are the conditions for the nomination of a book for the award
Works published in 2025 are eligible for the third season of the competition. Eligible works (novels, novellas, short story and essay collections, documentary prose) may have been published either as standalone editions or in literary magazines. Nominations may be submitted by publishing houses and magazine editorial boards, as well as by the authors themselves or third parties (with the author's consent and written confirmation). Texts must be submitted for consideration in electronic format. The DAR Prize is open to all authors. Given the prize's main goals — promoting contemporary Russian-language literature outside of Russia — and the nature of the award itself (a translation grant), priority will be given to authors whose works have not previously been translated into English, French, or German.
