*About Vasiliki Karagiannaki*

Vasiliki Karagiannaki (Βασιλική Καραγιαννάκη) was born on May 21, 1926 in
Ptolemaida, Greece. The oldest of five children from a refugee family
hailing from a small village near Prusa (modern day Bursa) in Asia Minor,
Vasiliki loved learning and reading—a passion that she could foster only
quietly, as she was forced to leave school to help raise her younger
siblings while her parents earned a living through hard work on the farm.
Vasiliki instilled in her daughter and granddaughter an insatiable love for
learning and exploring, for beautiful diction and for beauty altogether.
Her smile and spirit brightened up the world around her and made it kinder.
The award named after her is meant to honor her memory, her generous
spirit, and her love for learning. It ensures that she continues to do her
part to make the world a better place, as she herself always wanted it.
