In the last round of the eighth season of Mili Dueli, 60 authors were presented. They were presented in two separate finals, with 30 authors each. From both finals, 15 authors passed to the Grand Final. We bring you the names of the authors who made it to the Grand Final!

FINAL No.2 – RESULTS
Detailed insight into the voting in Final 1 and Final 2 by the organizers, jury, readers and finalists will be available to all readers after the Grand Final!

All of them will receive special plaques after the contest for placement in the finals of the contest.
