This year will be the 37th edition of this national short story competition, to which entries will be accepted until 7 March
San Fulgencio council is inviting entries to its literary contest ‘Villa de San Fulgencio’ for the year 2022. This will be the thirty-seventh edition of this short story competition, in Spanish, to which authors from all over Spain are able to send their works until Monday 7 March.
The competition has a prize of 1,000 euros for the winning story and 600 euros for the runners-up prize.
The Councillor for Culture, Ana Maria Villena, said “we will present the prize to the winning authors at a ceremony that will take place on 23 April, World Book Day, in the Cardenal Belluga theatre. The journalist and writer Nativel Preciado, patron of the event, will also be present.”
The works must be sent to the San Fulgencio Town Hall along with an entry form that can be found at the municipal electronic office and on the Consistory’s website.
First San Fulgencio Book Fair
As part of the celebrations for World Book Day, the town’s Department of Culture is preparing the first San Fulgencio Book Fair. In this fair, which will take place on 24 April, “we want to feature local writers who will be able to publicise their books and their work,” said the councillor.
Details can be had from the Department of Culture on 966794201, or by email avillena@ayto-sanfulgencio.es.
In addition, the Department will organise a literary competition for the municipality’s schools. “We aim to commemorate Book Day in style, in the hope of promoting a love of reading and writing among the population, and thereby making San Fulgencio a cultural reference in the Vega Baja,” said the councillor.
