- Shevchenko's competition has become a good tradition for me, as I annually participate in it since the fifth grade. It is an opportunity to try your knowledge and writing skills in various genres. The theme of the work is quite interesting, I consider the "muse to have come", because I was pleased with the written work. I am glad that the university gives the opportunity to continue such a tradition – Zoreslava shares her impressions of the competition.

- It happened to be the 10th Shevchenko International Literary Contest in which I am already taking part. Every year I look forward interesting and creative tasks that give me a chance to test my knowledge in writing works and in Taras Shevchenko`s biography,”- comments on participation in the competition Karina.
