Get Involved Now in the

Sea of Words Literary Contest

The European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) and the Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) have the pleasure to announce the launch of the Third Edition of the Sea of Words Literary Competition.

We encourage the production of short stories that portray the different realities of the Euro-Mediterranean region from the point of view of the young people who live there, through the organisation of a Euro-Med short story competition.

This year, the theme is justice, equality and inclusion in the Mediterranean and in Europe in line with the objectives of the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion.

Applicants must be under 30 years of age and residents in one of the forty three countries of the Union for the Mediterranean, and write in one of the languages of the countries of the Union for the Mediterranean.

The short-stories should be submitted by e-mail before midnight (Spain Local Time) 15 September 2010.

The General Assembly of COPEAM,  gathered in Paris on 11^th April on the occasion of its 17^th Annual Conference, unanimously adopted the call for the creation of the Mediterranean channel, a multinational, multilingual Mediterranean TV channel, broadcasting throughout the Euro-Mediterranean area, with all countries involved, North and South alike.

A channel that will therefore reflect the Mediterranean identity and diversity.

The call has already gathered a wide consensus among cultural and media sectors’ representatives (click on the link).
