PRADA Short Story Project/Contest

International fashion company Prada in cooperation with publishing house Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore have launched a short story contest. The aim is to make space available for the work of young talented writers.   

“What are the realities that our eyes give back to us? And how are these realities filtered through lenses?”

Applicants must be 18 years of age or older and are invited to submit a piece of writing (one only) where ideas, innovation and inquiry are triggered from responding to the above research type questions. By using the metaphor of prescription glasses, the judges will be looking for a creative interpretation of the world (or potential worlds) through the wearing of optical eye wear.

Contest runs from 1 p.m. C.E.T on April 18th, 2013 and ends 1 p.m. C.E.T on June 18th, 2013

Length: a minimum of 10 (ten) pages and a maximum of 20 (twenty) pages of A4 sheets. Note: refer to terms and conditions for submission guidelines.

The winner(s) will each receive 5000 euros.
