LITERATURE COMPETITIONS IN VARLIK MAGAZINE (1933-1991)


The Varlık magazine, which preserved its place in the Turkish publishing life from 1933 to the present day, is one of the most respected literary magazines in Turkish press history. The Varlık magazine and the Varlık publishing house that was founded later contributed to the world of literature in many ways. One of the most important of these contributions is the competition that the magazine has organized in various fields of literature. Varlık magazine competed in the fields of novel, poetry, translation, essay, examination. In these competitions, it is aimed to help recognition of new artists, to mobilize the world of literature and to make literature more popular. In these competitions, the leading artists in the field usually took on the role of a jury, but occasionally survey competitions were organized in which the results were determined by the readers' votes. The competition was a big participation and the competitions were welcomed by both the artists and the readers. Given the continuity of the competitions and their reflection on the press, it is possible to say that it reaches its aim for a great extent. This study is structured by document analysis which is evaluated within the scope of qualitative research method. Since the study was formed on the axis of the Varlık magazine, various problems were encountered in the footnote and bibliography system. The main reason for this is the nameless publication of a significant portion of news, announcements and evaluations related to the issue. Both the footnote and the welder are in anonymous writings, and the name of the article is taken for granted. With little or no writer's name and no article title, the name of the regular publication is taken for granted.
