The international literary competition «Әdebi Asia», created in Kazakhstan, took second place at the «Eurasia» award. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
The «Әdebi Asia» competition has been running since 2020. Its main goal is to unite poets and writers from different countries and strengthen cultural ties through literature.
A distinctive feature of the competition is that authors are given the opportunity to submit their works in their native language. In 2025, representatives from more than 90 countries took part in the competition. The international jury included 160 representatives from 80 states.
Over time, the project has become an international platform uniting literary figures from different continents. Its main task is to develop cultural dialogue between peoples through literary creativity and to establish long-term ties between the countries of Eurasia.
The project is headed by Bakytkozha Tolegenuly Rustemov.
Thus, three projects from Kazakhstan took second place in the respective nominations of the «Eurasia» award. Among them are the «Tamshylar» project, which provides assistance to children with special developmental needs, and the «Eurasia24» media resource, which publishes international politics content.
The international «Eurasia» award is being held for the second time this year. According to the organizers, more than 5,000 applications from 73 countries were submitted to the competition this year. The total prize fund of the award is 17 million rubles.
Also, a Kazakh media project became a laureate in the «Eurasia dauysy» nomination.
