VII INTERNATIONAL SHORT STORY CONTEST
Once again, the International Short Story Contest of the César Egido Serrano Foundation has broken the previous year's records. Thanks to your support and participation, in this seventh edition, 59,245 short stories have been received, from 170 different countries.
After a rigorous and impartial analysis in which the contestants themselves and an expert jury in the field participated, the first prize and the corresponding three second prizes were awarded in the three languages other than that of the winner. The official record with the jury's final decision can be accessed from the cover of this same website, and you can also read the winning stories in their respective languages and in Spanish.
We are sure that we are all aware that the selection of four stories from almost sixty thousand is a complex and arduous task, which is why we want to convey to you the assurance without any doubt of our impartiality, which subjects the selection to the participants themselves. as well as the analysis of this decision by an expert jury, without any member of the foundation intervening beyond the logistical organization of the process.
We appreciate everyone's participation equally and we encourage you to continue doing so in the next edition, with the conviction that beyond the award, participation alone is important to demonstrate that we are a group of people around the world convinced that dialogue and Words are the only vehicle to understand each other and live in peace and harmony. THANK YOU SO MUCH
