The winners of the fifth Youth Essay Prize competition have been announced. The contest was open to citizens of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine under 30, with no lower age limit, and asked for English-language essays of up to 3,000 words on European relevance or their country's European aspirations.
Four authors receive €500 prizes: Anastasiia Agarkova (Ukraine, 13), Nichita Frunză (Moldova, 19), Varvara Kabarhina (Ukraine, 20) and Shalva Dekanozishvili (Georgia, 24). Merit awards go to Tamar Tkemaladze (Georgia, 22) and Serhii Lashyn (Ukraine, 22). Another competition will be held in 2021.
The four-member jury, with one member each from Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and the EU, scored essays from 1 to 5 on relevance and interest, analytical and drafting quality, originality, and an age factor. Of 57 valid submissions, 20 were shortlisted. The task was not easy, as many shortlisted essays scored close to the winners. An open Zoom webinar with the winners and all 20 shortlisted competitors is planned.
