The University of Georgia will conduct yet another literary contest – “Folio 2020” dedicated to the World Book Day.  Students of all universities and pupils are welcome to participate.

The University of Georgia continues its tradition and supports the development of writing skills among young people. “Folio” aims to promote the culture of writing.

The current circumstances changed the whole scenario of our lives. The rapid and stressful routine got quarantined. But self-isolation doesn’t mean that we should stop thinking too. It's not the right time to weaken ourselves because we have enough room to observe, perceive, and improve.

Especially it's important to share thought-provoking ideas artistically as it’s the perfect way to express yourself originally and be the force of positive changes.

Only prose miniature texts will be accepted.

That's why the topic of Folio 2020 will be: “Pandemic- The Isolated World”
