Yuliia Lazutkina, the fifth-year student of the Department of Germanic Philology  (group PR.m-91), has become a finalist at the annual literary contest.
The VII International Contest of Belletristic for Children and Youth “Korniychukovska Award” was held in Odessa. The event enables writers from all over the world to try their hand at children and youth literature. This year, 352 writers from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Estonia, Israel and Uzbekistan took part in the contest.
Yulia sent her story about the cat named Corsair, that had given the title to the whole story about the circus cat, who turns into a stray one, has to fight to survive, but finally he finds loving masters and learns to love them as well. One of the messages of the story is that evil breeds evil and love breeds love.
The story got to the short-list in the nomination “Prose for Young Children. Ukrainian Writers”.
Our congratulations! We wish success in the creative work and inspiration!
