Then, don’t miss the opportunity to send your story to Stories on the run, organized by the Penitentiary Museum of the Costa Rican Center for Science and Culture.
Stories on the run is a project that promotes literary creation and awareness of the reality of the inmates, through a micro-story contest that is inspired by a sculpture of a man who looks towards freedom from his cell, exhibited in one of the museum’s rooms. The director of the Penitentiary Museum, Cristian Salazar, invited all people who enjoy writing to participate in the contest, which has the theme “A look in confinement”.
To participate, you just have to send a micro-story or micro-tale of no more than one page, of your own authorship, original and that adheres to the established theme, to the email kacuna@museocr.org, including your name (or pseudonym) and your contact number. You have time until Friday, November 10. The first place will be awarded with the adaptation of their micro-story in audiovisual version, two tickets to the face-to-face event A night in the Peni that will be on November 24, a book of If the walls of the Peni spoke by the author Gloria Bejarano and a souvenir of the Penitentiary Museum.
