The eleventh edition of this competition, organized by the Galapagar City Council, has recognized two authors for their contributions to reflecting on gender violence. The contest uses literature as a means to highlight this issue and promote a more conscious and committed society.
In the adult category, the award for the best micro-story was given for the work Cansada de guardar secretos (Tired of Keeping Secrets). On the other hand, the award for the best micro-story from Galapagar went to the work Olivia.
She stopped being invisible when the house, tired of keeping secrets, began to creak her name. He thought it was the wind, but it was her strength breaking through the cracks.
The award ceremony was attended by participants and finalists, as well as municipal representatives and staff from the Violence Point and the Ricardo León Library, entities that collaborate in organizing the event.
My name is Olivia and I believe in fairies that brush against me. They dance with me in joy and sorrow, guarding keys of light for my cracks. But the world turns to night when love weighs like a yoke and the voice shrinks.
This contest is consolidated as an important platform for social awareness, involving the community in the fight against gender violence through artistic and literary expression.
