Santiago del Teide announces the fourth edition of the Microfiction Contest against Gender Violence 2023
The deadline for submitting papers will end on November 6
The City Council of Santiago del Teide has convened the fourth edition of the Microfiction Contest against Gender Violence 2023, which seeks to sensitise the population against gender violence through the writing, subsequent reading and understanding of microfictions, seeking to strengthen the values of respect and equality so that we all manage to end this social scourge.
Any person residing in the municipality over 18 years of age may participate in the general category, although those over 14 years of age may participate in the IES Tamaimo category, in which case they must present authorisation granted by their father, mother or legal guardian.
The micro-stories, whose deadline for submission of works will end on November 6 -at 11:59 p.m.-, must have as a theme gender violence in all its forms and may be real or fictitious stories; excluding all those stories that have sexist, xenophobic or offensive connotations against people or institutions.
To evaluate the micro-stories, the following criteria will be taken into account: Adequacy to the theme of the contest (2 points), literary and expressive quality (2 points), syntax and spelling (2 points) and originality of the text and coherence of it (4 points).

• 1st prize: 500,00€.
