In the sixth edition of the competition “Who saves one human life, saves a whole universe” university students can also participate
The literary competition of the Center for Jewish-Bulgarian Cooperation “Alef” “enters” the university. Besides high school students, this year university students aged between 19 and 25 can also participate the competition. Center Alef changed the regulation and extended the age range due to the great interest and numerous requests for participation by students from different universities in the country.
The National Literary Competition “Who saves one human life, saves a whole universe” will be implement in two categories – for high school students and for university students.
In each one of the categories the participants will compete for first, second and third award – respectively 400, 300 and 200 leva. The winners will be chosen by competent jury: Rumen Leonidov – poet and publisher of the website Fakel.bg, Asen Yordanov – journalist and director of the website Bivol.bg and Alberta Alkalay – president of CJBC “Alef”, journalist and winner of the “Human of the Year” award.
The subject of the sixth edition of the competition is:
“TO LOVE, DESPITE….”

Based on their knowledge of the past, they must tell stories of love, friendship, understanding, mutual assistance and self-sacrifice between Bulgarians and Jews. The characters of the works can be real characters from the history or stories based on real cases but they can also be fully based on their imagination.
