On Saturday 7 June at 7 p.m., the awards ceremony for the 7th Short Story Competition Ecoparque de Trasmiera 2025 will take place at the Casa de Mareas de Soano.
Prior to the event, the book collecting the winning stories from the previous edition was presented, with ““ZAHORÍ” by Franco Marín, first prize, “TODAS LAS JAULAS” by Ignacio Samper, second prize, and “LOS SAUCES DORADOS” by Guillermo Rubio Arias-Paz, third prize.
Before starting the event, and given the upcoming coincidence with World Oceans Day, the Ecoparque team and the participation of writer Mikel Alvira will offer Experience fusion of nature, music and literature in the Marisma Joyel and Soano, in which, through a small musical walk, literature will be blended with nature, highlighting the environmental importance of the sea and the marshland.
Next, the Jury will be presented, and Guillermo Rubio, on its behalf, will give a brief introduction to this year’s Competition and the shortlisted stories. It is worth remembering that on 31 March the deadline for submitting short stories for the fifth edition of the Ecoparque de Trasmiera literary contest ended, with 172 stories submitted, involving practically all of Spain’s Autonomous Communities and more than half a dozen other countries. Previously, just a few hours earlier, following the proper deliberation process by the Jury for this 7th Competition, the order of prizes among the previously selected finalists will be determined:
– “LOS DÍAS DE TORMENTA” by Ricardo Pérez
– “TIERRA DE TESOROS” by José Luis Baños.
– “LA TIERRA QUE TE ESPERA” by Juan Ignacio Ferrándiz.
Attendees will receive free of charge one of the copies of the latest book from the Competition, the one corresponding to the winning stories from 2024
These have been intense months of reading and deliberation thanks to the high standard that, from its very first edition, has characterized the Ecoparque de Trasmiera Short Stories Competition, which year after year is consolidating its presence in the world of Letters.
In this way, the Ecoparque de Trasmiera literary contest continues a happy trajectory that begins by establishing the event as one of the most interesting on the national scene.
