Trafika Europe's First Annual Literary Prize

Trafika Europe is very excited to begin fundraising for our first-ever annual literary prize! TE has been publishing quarterly journals since 2014 after late Director Andrew Singer began the project. As a non-profit, we focus on bolstering a global community focused on the diverse literature, art, and culture related to the continent of Europe. In August 2024, we will be announcing the opening of submissions for our first ever literary prize. We will be awarding a prize for prose and one for verse accompanied by two runners-up in each category. The winners will be announced in January 2025 and will be featured in our first quarterly journal issue alongside the four runners-up and four honorable mentions in each category.

The funds raised throughout the rest of this year will be purely dedicated to the literary prizes including the following: the prize amount for winners and runners-up; sending a complimentary printed issue of the journal to participants and our judges; advertising fees associated with the contest; and services to keep Trafika Europe free online (website, hosting, etc.).

All donors will be included in a list of donors on our website associated with this issue of Trafika Europe. For those interested, we have three tier possibilities with extra benefits:
