To submit proposals for books for participation in the award, you need to fill out an electronic form. Next, the organizing committee checks applications for compliance. At the next stage, an expert jury forms a list of favorites.<\/p>\n

\n

“I approach from the point of view of innovativeness of style, harmony of style and content. Relevance of the topic, readability, because the mass reader should read an easy book about complex topics.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

– commented the literary critic, expert of the “Espreso. Readers’ choice” by Nina Golovchenko.<\/p>\n

After the work of the experts, 3 finalist books from each nomination are sent to libraries \u2014 more than 275 in all corners of Ukraine, except for the occupied parts. There, readers give a final assessment of the literature.<\/p>\n

\n

“What I really like about the Espreso award. Readers’ choice” that it was a vote in libraries. And, in fact, the readers made the final choice from the 3 books that made it to the finals.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

– emphasized the writer Haska Shiyan.<\/p>\n

The writer Gaska Shiyan won the award last year with her novel “Behind the Back” – about the fate of a soldier’s wife.<\/p>\n

Shiyan added:<\/p>\n

\n

“Since the book is such a rather sensitive topic and in a certain sense provocative, I rather expected some kind of negative feedback. A more negative reaction. I did not expect that there would be prizes, awards. And, in fact, it was very pleasant and very important for me in the sense that I understood that the Ukrainian reader and the Ukrainian literary environment are ripe for discussion and discussion of this topic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ukrainian writers can apply for the Espreso. Readers’ Choice” throughout June.<\/p>\n

The requirements are as follows: the book must have been published in the last year and must be in the Ukrainian language. Among the award nominations are literature for children, teenagers and adults.<\/p>\n

The “Espreso” TV channel and the NGO Demforum established the 2017 award to support Ukrainians’ interest in reading.<\/p>\n

\n

“Espreso’s audience is cultured, intelligent, educated people. The cultural layer of the Ukrainian book is also important for them. They share our values, the values \u200b\u200bof the TV channel. Therefore, we were sure that this project would be interesting for our audience.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

– summed up the communication manager of the “Espreso. Readers’ choice” Borys Yaskovets.<\/p>\n

This year’s Prize winners will be announced at the end of November 2020 at a solemn ceremony, as well as on the air of the Espreso TV channel and on the Espreso.TV website.<\/p>\n

Despite the quarantine, the authors of the best literary novelties will win their awards.<\/p>\n
