ALFA – Literature Competition
ALFA, the association of literature friends in the Algarve, is running its first Literature Competition .
The theme is ´Red Shoes´.
The object of the competition is to have a theme on which everyone can
take part. It can be a poem, short story, song, painting, photo, sculpture,
or any other medium.
Each person is only allowed one entry in each medium.
Members of the jury are not allowed to enter.
The entry must be your own work (maximum 10 A 4 pages, 30 lines/page).
Its title must not only be ´red shoes´ as the entries need to be distinguishable.
The prizes:
- Large ALFI*
- Small ALFI
*ALFI is ALFA’s mascot, a reading rat, thus being a type of trophy: In other
competitions you can win an Oscar or a globe – here you can win an Alfi.
The best entries will be published in an anthology called ´Red Shoes´.
