Toledo, 18 nov (EFE).-Argentine writer María Soledad Uranga has won the contest Microrelatos I 'Museum of the word', equipped with 7,000 euros for his composition 'days ago it rains', consisting of eighteen words. The failure of this prize, organized by the Fundación César Egido Serrano, have been announced this afternoon in Toledo, insofar as its promoter - which gives its name to the Foundation - is a native of the town of Quero. This international award jury is chaired by the director of the Museo de la Palabra, Alfonso Fernández, and formed, among others, by writer Carmen Posadas, former Socialist Ministers Cristina Alberdi and César Antonio Molina, former Ambassador of Israel in Spain Shlomo Ben Ami or the journalist Miguel Angel Mellado. The award ceremony will take place the next day 23 November in Quero, coinciding with the inauguration of the Museum House of the Fundación César Egido Serrano, and at the same event the nine finalists will receive a diploma. This event have been submitted a total of 3,682 stories, from 44 countries, and in the words of Caesar Egido Serrano, he is the 'highest paid' literary contest, said in a relaxed tone, as its first winner will receive for each word 389 euros, dividing the amount of the prize among the 18 words that make up his story.
