Youth Literary Competition “He who saves one human life, saves the whole universe” - Final

The thirteenth edition of the International Literary and Film Student Competition “He who saves one human life, saves the whole universe” is approaching its final stage.

This year's theme “In the leading role: Humanity” inspired 140 young authors from 10 countries, who, through the means of literary art and cinematic techniques, depicted tolerance and humanity as timeless human values.

For the fifth consecutive year, the 30 nominated authors from Bulgaria and abroad will be invited to participate in the three-day International Youth Literary and Film Festival “Friendship - meaning and salvation” in Burgas. The program of the youth forum includes meetings with eminent Bulgarian and foreign writers, historians and directors, exhibitions, games and many surprises for the participants.

A highlight of the festival's program will be the award ceremony, when the winners of the XIII literary and film competition will be announced.

The works of the authors from Bulgaria and in the “Video Story” category are evaluated by a commission composed of: Radostina Nikolova, Georgi Bardarov, Rumen Leonidov, Asen Yordanov and Alberta Alkalay.

The nominations in the “Fiction - foreign authors” category, which have been selected by the international jury, will be announced soon.
