Pushkin Poetry Prize

The Slavic Department invites you to submit entries for the annual 
Pushkin Poetry Prize competition.  The prize, which is funded by a 1958 
bequest of Dr. John Paul Mihaly, is awarded for the best translation of 
a Slavic poem into English.   Both graduate and undergraduate students 
are eligible. You may submit one or two short poems or one extended 
poem. (Collaborative translations are allowed if both translators are 
Columbia students.)

The amount of the award is $250.  A panel of two judges will review the 
translations, and the winner will be announced at the end of the 
academic year.

Entries should be submitted to Christopher Ortiz in the Slavic Department 
office (708 Hamilton Hall).  Please include a copy of the Slavic
original(s) as well.  In order to maintain the translators' anonymity, 
we ask that you not identify yourself by name on the submission; use 
instead a three-digit number. Then send an email to Christopher Ortiz 
(co2592) with that number and your name.

Please submit your poems by noon on Monday, March 31, 2025.
