Results of the Fourth Biber Short Story Contest
Some 750 stories were entered in the Fourth Biber Short Story Contest. The jury made up of Tatjana Gromača, Anton Berishaj and Selvedin Avdić has decided on the awards and made a selection of stories to be published in a multilingual collection.
The three winning stories are:
First Prize: “Ptičice” [Birdies] by Bojan Krivokapić from Novi Sad
Second Prize: “Kućica u šumi” [Little House in the Woods] by Alma Tabak from Sarajevo
Third Prize: “Trokut” [Triangle] by Maja Halapir from Samobor
We plan to publish the multilingual collection of stories by the autumn and it will also be available on the Biber website (in Albanian, Macedonian and BCS). In addition to the prize-winning stories, the collection will include another 22 stories by the following authors: Aleksandra Jovanović from Vranje, Aneta Velkoska from Skopje, Besa Morina from Pristina, Bojan Krivokapić from Novi Sad, Boško Lomović from Gornji Milanovac, Dinko Telećan from Zagreb, Goran Paladin from Zagreb, Hoja Ogrizović from Novi Sad, Irena Skopljak Barić from Vrbovec, Jelena Kalajdžija from Bijeljina, Jovana Matevska Atanasova from Bitola, Marijana Čanak from Novi Žednik, Mihovil Rismondo from Zagreb, Milan Vorkapić from Vrnjačka Banja, Milena Babić from Kruševac, Milica Rašić from Niš, Nikola Nikolić from Podgorica, Nikola Petrović from Belgrade, Petra Rapaić from Novi Sad, Sanja Trpkovska from Skopje, Senad Jusić from Bugojno and Vesa Qena from Pristina.
