Casalnuovo, 'A City That Writes' dedicates the ninth edition of the Literary Prize to Giulia Cecchettin

The creator of the award, Giovanni Nappi, emphasized that this edition sends a strong and clear message against violence against women.

The call for the 2024 Literary Prize has been published and includes a single section entitled “Meglio amarsi”, dedicated to the theme of femicide and violence against women. This choice was influenced by the killing of Giulia Cecchettin, a tragic event that shook the country.

Giovanni Nappi, creator of the national literary competition: “This new edition of the literary competition aims to give participants, and all those who read the anthology we will publish, a moment of reflection on a crucial issue, that of femicide, sending a strong and clear message against violence against women”.

Applications for the competition must be submitted by May 20, 2024, and the awards ceremony is scheduled for June 2024 in Casalnuovo di Napoli, at the Parco delle Chiocciole. The complete call for applications is available for download on the official website www.unacittachescrive.com.
