Tunisia“A Sea of Words” literary contest 2019 highlights young people commitment in social change in the Mediterranean region
The 12th edition of the international short story contest “A Sea of Words”, organised by the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) and the Anna Lindh Foundation under the motto “Young People’s Commitment in Social Change” was launched last month.
This edition aims to put forward the central role played by young people by giving them a voice to explain their own experiences and emotions in relation to social changes that are currently taking place.
The authors of the 10 best stories, selected by an international jury, will be invited to Barcelona to attend the awards presentation ceremony (25 September) and to participate in the different cultural activities to be held from 25 to 27 September 2019.
People aged 18-30 are allowed to participate. The stories must be original and can be written in any of the official languages of the 43 countries of the Euro-Mediterranean area.
The deadline for submitting the original works is 25 April.
