An international writing contest about elephants

An international academic society has a contest for the best written work on elephants, and each country can send one work.

The French entry is a lavishly-illustrated three-part series called "Love Triangles in Elephant Mating Cycles."

The British entry is a treatise titled "Elephants and Global Commerce."

The German entry is a 24-volume set of books titled "Introduction to Elephantology."

The Russian entry is a three-volume collection of books titled "The Role of Elephants in the October Revolution," "The Happy Life of Elephants under the Sun of the World's Most Progressive Soviet Constitution," and "Russia: Motherland of Elephants."
