Event Details
Casa África launches the tenth edition of Purorrelato, its micro-story contest that aims to promote literary creation that encourages us to feel and think about Africa and to continue showing different realities that approach us to the continent, away from the stereotypes that have marked it for so long.
The competition is organized by Casa África Consortium. The competition is open to anyone over the age of 18.
As in previous editions, any person over the age of 18 can participate, with a maximum of three micro-stories per author. Only Casa África staff and winners of previous editions are excluded.
The theme is free, although the micro-stories should be related to Africa in some way. The story could take place inside or outside the continent and its degree of relation with Africa could range from a detail to the total protagonism of the story.
The micro-stories could be submitted in Spanish, English, French or Portuguese, with a maximum length of 1500 characters including spaces and excluding the title.
Entries must not have been previously published.
The competition is free to enter.
