The Federation of Troops and Legions has organized the First Literary Contest of the Parties of Carthaginians and Romans, whose works should deal with some aspect related to these celebrations, and for which there will be two modalities;
one of poetry and another of narrative.
Collaborates the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena.
The participants will be able to write fantastic legends, witty poetry, witty narrations, sparkling ballads, exciting stories, subtle odes or fascinating stories that make us dream and relive past moments, they have pointed out from the Federation of Troops and Legions.
Likewise, they have indicated that the objective is to be a stimulus for the writers of Cartagena, whether veterans or inexperienced;
teachers or novices;
experts or beginners.
The objective is the creation of stories that enrich the cultural tradition of all those who come to the Carthaginian and Roman festivals.
Each participant may participate once in each modality.
In the case of narrative, the extension of the work must have a minimum of two pages and a maximum of four;
while in poetry you must have a minimum of 60 verses and a maximum of 100.
The originals will be received until August 31 at 6 pm, and in the case of the works sent by postal mail, the date of the postmark will be taken into account.
The organization of the event has established a unique and indivisible prize for each of the modalities, which will consist of a commemorative trophy and 250 euros.
In addition, there will be two runners-up that will consist of a trophy.
The award ceremony will be held on Wednesday night of Fiestas, on September 26, 2018, in the protocol tent of the festive camp.
