The five winners will be translated into English and Russian, their works will be given publication priority, first as bilingual blog-novels and then as an illustrated e-book compilation; they will also receive a cash prize.

The runners-up will be published next as blog-novels in their original languages. After the runners-up, the rest of the contestants will be published throughout the remainder of 2014 and into 2015.

The organizing committee also wants to thank all of the participants. Stay tuned to NewEurasia’s website and Facebook page when we begin publishing all of the submissions next month!
