A vintage editorial site for a state literary prize
The Reshetov Literary Prize is a cultural project under the regional Ministry of Culture. We built a fully content-managed multi-page site with a vintage editorial aesthetic to match its weight.
The Reshetov Literary Prize is a cultural project under the regional Ministry of Culture, and a generic template would have read as bureaucratic — wrong for a project about literature and craft.
We built a fully content-managed, multi-page site with a vintage, print-inspired editorial aesthetic to match its weight: typographic layouts for the prize's character, and clear sections for nominees, jury, events and an archive. Every cycle's nominees, jurors and events are editable in the admin, with templates that keep each year consistent.
A literary institution deserves a literary site
A state cultural prize carries history and gravity. A generic template would have read as bureaucratic — wrong for a project about literature and craft.
It also had to be run entirely by the organizing team: nominees, jury, events and archives all updated each cycle without a developer in the loop.
