The eighth season of “Kniguru” unexpectedly turned out to be animalistic - that’s what the competition experts called it: the texts of all the laureates are dedicated to animals.

The first two places in the 2017 season were taken by “newcomers” - these names are still unknown to most readers, and the third is well known.

“Children’s literature has a decisive role,” commented expert Shamil Idiatullin. – The book remains the most universal tool that turns a human cub into a human being. Literature must correspond to the era. If the reader encounters a text that is not of its time, he does not consider it honest - and we lose the reader. Then we will not raise a person who will take a big step for humanity. And if a child or teenager does not learn from literature, he can only learn from his own example. It's not always safe. And in “Kniguru” in this sense - ecological niche: bookish writers know how to come from the side where the reader is not expecting, pull him along with them - and start talking to him about complex and serious topics.”

1 place took Liliya Volkova (Moscow), story "Under the Constellation of Stray Dogs" .

2nd place – Antonina Malysheva (Novosibirsk), story "The Cat of Oblivion" .

3rd place –Stanislav Vostokov (Moscow region), story "Brother-junnat."

Experts noted the most active readers who took part in the voting. This Irina Tumanova and Anastasia Avramenko from Yekaterinburg. It turned out that the readers study in the same gymnasium, and the school librarian told them about the competition.

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 of various literary competitions there cannot be a full-fledged 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 you can create in directories separate section"Children's Prizes" 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.”

Feedback from a regular user of the site, the author of works, and since 2017, a member of the site’s jury Marina Stanislavovna Uchevatova: “It’s always nice to discover new stars among your students. “Talents must be helped,” said the Russian classic. And it is very important to help children realize their talents... It’s great that there is such an Internet space where there is an opportunity to realize their abilities.”

This year we plan to publish a printed collection " dear heart» at the expense of the authors.
