A jury composed of literary experts, including poets, professors, authors, journalists, and critics, will select the best works. The winners will be announced during the awards ceremony scheduled for late December, as part of the "Christmas in Cicerale – Christmas Markets" celebrations. Three main prizes will be awarded for each category, as well as special mentions for works of particular merit.
Culture as a community glue
The Municipality of Cicerale, through Councilor for Culture Chiara Valva, has expressed its intention to support local culture and talent with this initiative. "Every poem is a story, and Christmas in Cicerale will provide the perfect stage to tell it," the councilor emphasizes.
