Relatos de Altura: 1st Mountain Micro-story Competition
The 1st edition of the mountain micro-story competition 'Relatos de Altura' has had a great participation, receiving a total of 63 micro-stories. The quality of the texts, as well as their originality and creativity, undoubtedly made it very difficult for the jury. I can vouch for this.
We are pleased to announce the two selected texts that will receive the competition prizes (see the bases).
- FIRST PRIZE: Alexis López Vidal / SNOW TATAMI.
- SECOND PRIZEAitziber Landa Serrano / STEP BY STEP.
On the other hand, we will collect all the micro-stories in a ebook to give them the presence that they deserve and to correspond in some way to the care that all the participants have put into them. We will also be sharing them here.
On behalf of the whole Travesía Pirenaica team, we would like to thank you, because the Community is what gives meaning to what we do.
