Meco Prize publishes the finalists for its second edition
Stories, essays and songs reach the 27 November ceremony in Turin after hundreds of submissions.
The Third Sector Forum of Piedmont published the finalists for the second Meco Literary Prize on 2 November. The selection includes numerous works in the short-story, short-essay and song categories, along with contributions from juvenile detention institutions in Turin and Potenza. Organisers report receiving hundreds of entries and entrusting their assessment to volunteer judges. The winners will be announced at 3 p.m. on 27 November in Sala Carpanini at Turin City Hall, with advance booking required. The project thus brings writing created in marginal contexts into the public form of a competition, gathering different genres around the possibility of turning personal and social experience into shared narrative and cultural participation.
