Library Member Ana Bacic Wins Prestigious Silvije Strahimir Kranjcevic Literary Prize

Since 1984, the Croatian Heritage Foundation in Rijeka has been holding a "Silvije Strahimir Kranjcevic" literary competition for emigrant Croats.  This competition is open to Croat emigrees around the world to encourage the preservation of our spoken language and heritage in the diaspora.

We are delighted to announce that this year's winner in the prose category is Library member Ana Bacic for her submission of an adolescent themed novel.

The award was named after Silvije Strahimir Kranjcevic, a 19th century Croatian poet born in Senj, in recognition of his writings about the Croatian people and their everyday life.  For more information on this prize, read the March edition of "Matica", published by the Croatian Heritage Foundation.

Congratualtions Ana on your prize and on your well-deserved international recognition!
