we are happy and proud to present the books of the winning works
of the contest, which were recognized as such due to the work of
the Jury of the contest and due to the interest and engagement of
readers. During this period we did our best to boost interest in
reading through public readings and discussions. The contest also
enabled to reveal new and young talents as well as organize public
discussions, which was also one of the key objectives of the contest,"
said Bruno Duthoit, Orange Armenia CEO.
As a reminder, the contest was open to Armenian residents writing
in Armenian and having presented a literary work never published
in the past. A total of 130 literary works have participated. The
winning work in each category has been published as a separate book,
printed by quantity of 500.
In the result of the first stage Jury members should have choosen
maximum four works in each category that have been presented to public
vote in the second stage.

categories have been selected by on-line voting on Orange website:
