"Consolidate a prestigious literary event from the Vall de Laguar and at the same time make known the verdict of the prizes in an outstanding event in the framework of October 9, with all the symbolism of the chosen date and celebration". With these words, the Councilor for Culture of Town hall de la Vall de Laguar, Oscar Soria, has defined the first edition of the Cavall Verd Short Story and Poetry Awards, an initiative that will reward the best works presented in each category with 600 euros and which will be selected by a prestigious jury in the field .
The works will be sent by e-mail to the email address: premisesliterariscavallverd@outlook.com and the deadline to participate ends on September 7, 2020. The complete bases can be found on Facebook and at the Electronic Office of the Vall de Laguar City Council and also at brief on the MACMA website.
The Cultural Association of the Marina Alta collaborates technically in an initiative that broadens and prestige the literary map of the region, as summarized by the MACMA manager, Jovi Seser, when congratulating the Vall de Laguar City Council for the initiative. As for the bulk of the bases of the call, the works must be presented in Valencian and the works must be entirely unpublished and spread the cultural and natural heritage of the valley.
The choice of the name of the prize responds to this end. The Cavall Verd is not only, next to the Barranc de l'Infern, the mountain by which the valley is identified, but it is a historical and landscape emblem that leads a pioneering project such as the literary awards, an initiative to disseminate and promote the Vall de Laguar as a cultural reference within the whole of our linguistic territory.
