But not only the official ceremony of announcing the list, but also the whole day spent in Yekaterinburg became a holiday. In order:

Krapivinskaya Prize

Initiators International Children's Literary Prize named after the writer Vladislav Petrovich Krapivin was performed in 2006 by the Ural Writers Association. In 2009 the International literary prize V.P. Krapivina ceased to exist.
In 2010, the Commonwealth of Children's Writers announced a new International Children's Literary Award named after V.P. Krapivna.

The financial part of the prize was provided by the authorities (not of the Sverdlovsk region, but of Tyumen and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug), and all organizational efforts and expenses for information and image support of the prize were assumed free of charge by the Commonwealth of Children's Writers.

But this year the issue is with the allocation Money The winner of the competition has not yet been decided. Therefore, the organizing committee of the award decided to hold two ceremonies: on Vladislav Krapivin’s birthday, to announce the list of finalists for the award, and later to hold a ceremony to present the award to the winner.

According to tradition, the finalists are selected by the jury of the competition, and the winner is named from among the finalists. Vladislav Krapivin.

The list declaration itself Olga Kolpakova and the comrades managed to make it a self-sufficient action. Here is a list of the competition finalists and their works:
Eduard Verkin. Cloud Regiment.
Natalia Evdokimova. End of the world.
Yulia Zaitseva. Military City.
Anna Ignatova. I believe it or not.
Nail Izmailov. Ubyr.
Anna Nikolskaya. Valya off-line.
Pavel Kalmykov. Treasure and other minerals.
Lara Lond.An unbearable adventure.
Dmitry Sirotin. The largest apricot.
Ilmira Stepanova. Basho.

Naturally, I was rooting for Dmitry Sirotin(“The biggest apricot”).

Svetlana Lavrova, a member of the jury, said this about Dmitry Sirotin’s book: “ This book will not create a sensation; the media will not write about it. It will simply increase the amount of good in this world. And there is nothing higher than this for a writer!»

Lena Lenkovska I, like Svetlana and Olga, am also a participant Commonwealth of Children's Writers and a member of the competition jury, she was very emotional in evaluating the competition works (thanks to her performance, I asked Olga to send me several manuscripts):

And a serious one raised a methodological question about the difference between the Krapivin Prize and other literary prizes:

And after the official ceremony of announcing the finalists of the award, the unofficial part began, no less exciting:

Then there was a tour of Malaya Herzenka, along the streets of Yekaterinburg, a visit to the museum and gatherings with Olga Kolpakova, but those are different stories.

“He was just a boy and knew for sure: there are no miracles in the world.

And he was amazed and shuddered almost as much as his enemies when, in the blaze of red manes and with the dull thunder of horseshoes, five cavalrymen flew into the clearing and stood in a semicircle.

And the most important horseman - dark, white-toothed, in a green shirt and a canvas budenovka with a blue cloth star - said quietly ... "
