Review of Russian children's literary awards
Writer Andrei Zhvalevsky talks about existing children's prizes and why literary prizes in general and children's prizes in particular are needed.
From a market perspective, literary prizes don't seem to be very necessary. One of the industry reports, “Book Publishing in Russia,” analyzed the factors that influence the choice and purchase of a book. The factor “The book is a prize winner or shortlisted for a competition” was only 14th in importance. It had a rating of only 3.4 (for comparison: “A Well-Familiar Author” received a rating of 7.0).
At the same time, the bonus system is a kind of table of ranks, a rating scale. This is a quasi-objective “thermometer” that measures literary quality and sets guidelines. Therefore, without large quantity variety of literary competitions cannot be complete literary life. Simply put, prizes help to understand what is good and what is bad in literature. But the most important thing is that the awards reveal new names to the world. The jury seems to say: “This author is worth reading, he stands out among his peers.”
If there have always been enough “adult” awards (I almost wrote “quite a lot”), then until recently everything was very bad with children’s awards. In Sergei Chuprinin’s fundamental work “Russian Literature Today: A Great Guide” (M.: Vremya, 2007), only five such awards are mentioned: “ Cherished dream", "Alice", " Scarlet Sails”, named after Green and named after Marshak, and only “The Cherished Dream” was awarded a separate article. Less than ten years have passed, and today it is possible to create a separate section “Children's Awards” in directories. And this despite the fact that “The Cherished Dream” and “Scarlet Sails”, unfortunately, have sunk into oblivion.
Which literary competitions are the most important today? One can argue here. In order to somehow structure the dispute, I propose dividing the bonuses by age.
For the little ones
Completely children's literature (what preschoolers and junior schoolchildren) - it's a poetry. Moreover, the set of these poems changes very slowly: Chukovsky and Marshak are as relevant as 70 years ago, the same applies to “Uncle Stepa” and ten best poems Barto. Therefore, “tiny” literary competitions are not very resonant. Everyone is waiting for a “new Barto” (it’s stupid to wait for a new Chukovsky) - and you can wait a long time for this. Although in last years Several excellent poets for the little ones have appeared: Anastasia Orlova, Kristina Strelnikova, several more authors. But ask offhand to name the prizes, among the laureates of which you need to look for fresh “baby” poets - the names of Marshak, Chukovsky will come to mind... Very unique. Actually, that's all. There are several more regional-scale awards, Internet competitions and “infighting”, but let’s leave the conversation about them out of the equation.
The winners of the Marshakov and Chukov Prizes were Andrey Usachev, Galina Dyadina, Marina Boroditskaya, Mikhail Yasnov… Good authors, needless to say. But perhaps Galina Dyadina can be classified as one of the “new wave” of children’s poets. The Renata Mucha Prize was received by lesser known ones - Dmitry Sirotin, Andrey Smetanin, Galina Ilyina, Nadezhda Radchenko, Natalya Ivanova- but, alas, this award cannot be called widely advertised and representative.
For not the most, but the little ones
Separately, it is worth highlighting the bonuses, so to speak, “cross-age”. That is, those where there are nominations for both children and older children. I immediately remember "New children's book"- project of the Rosmen publishing house. This award is interesting because it was created with a commercial aim. True, recently round table, dedicated to the formats of children's literature, the director of the publishing house Boris Kuznetsov admitted that for now he is only investing in the search for new authors. On the other hand, the success of the first laureate of the “New Children's Book” - “Chasodeev” by Natalya Shcherba - speaks of the market potential of such competitions. Over the past few years, “NDK” has greatly increased its rating, although its laureates are not very well known to the general public: Alexander Yagodkin, Yulia and Konstantin Snigala, Evgenia Shlyapnikova, Natalya Povalyaeva, Elena Yavetskaya and Igor Zhukov, Alexander Anderson… Even Anastasia Orlova And Valery Ronshi n, who are far from being beginners, are much inferior in fame to Usachev or Yasnov.
But Kniguru is not alone in this field. Several more teen awards have appeared in the last ten years. Interestingly, each of them was established because “there are no competitions for literature for teenagers in the country.”
We work with new authors only in an open mode - take part in the “Short” competition children's work». The goal of the project is to search for and promote young authors writing in Russian for children from 5 to 11 years old. This is a competition of open opportunities, anyone over the age of eighteen can take part in it. The prize for the winner is the publication of a book by the Nastya and Nikita publishing house.
