Corcs, by Olivia Lund Pinya, winner of the Art Jove short story award

The jury, chaired by Tomeu Canyelles and made up of Carlota Oliva, Laia Alegret, Miquel Àngel Tortell and Natàlia Rabassa, considered that the author shows a high command of literary language and that the work enjoys a great narrative rhythm and a very well-defined aesthetic sensibility.

The second prize ex aequo, worth 500 euros each, went to Mila by Laura Rosselló Garcies, for La rapinyada, by Ana Irene Sainz Quesada, and La pau, by Raül Levas Ferrer.

The prizes were awarded last Sunday at the ACA Foundation in Búger in a ceremony enlivened by dramatised readings and attended by the director of the IBJOVE, Tomàs Amer.

Artistic and training residency

In this edition, the Art Jove short story competition incorporated a novelty: the celebration of an artistic and formative residency at the ACA Foundation in Búger, with the seven finalist writers, who were, apart from the winners: Aina Oliver Servera, Rafael Albert Sureda Mascaró and Carles Martínez Fuentes. In this residence they were provided with dynamics of knowledge, interrelation and debate.

This Sunday, at 12.30 p.m., the final of the Art Jove product and fashion design competitions will take place at Bodegues Suau (Es Pont d’Inca, Marratxí).
