“The EU Prize for Literature [EUPL] Writing Contest is a unique short
fiction competition that celebrates Europe, literature and – above all –
10 years of the European Union Prize for Literature, which was exclusively
open to all previous 106 EUPL winners.
36 EUPL winning authors from all over Europe – from a total of 26
countries – have taken us up on this great opportunity and submitted
fascinating European stories with a unique perspective.”
These works of short fiction, in both original versions and English
translations, are compiled in the publication “European Stories”, which is
available online here
As 2018 is the year of European Year of Cultural Heritage, a special prize
will be awarded to the best short fiction in which European heritage plays
a significant role.
EWC and the Professional Jury
Parallel to the previously mentioned contests, a professional jury made up
of distinguished experts from the field of literature, including literary
critics, journalists, authors as well as booksellers, will be judging
these submissions in the coming months and will choose a winner in
November this year. The European Writers’ Council leads this strand of the
competition.
The members of the professional jury are: Maria-João Costa (Portugal),
Nina George (Germany), Juancho Pons (Spain), Cathy Rentzenbrink (United
Kingdom), Liana Sakelliou (Greece) and Marnix Verplancke (Belgium).
The winners of the different categories will be announced at the Awards
Ceremony, taking place in Vienna in November 2018.
