CAFFÈ LETTERARIO MOAK
A real scouting of young writers and of those who are already well known, but strive for publishing and spreading their manuscripts – provided that topic is coffee. Even this year, the arduous task lies with the panel of judges of the XIII edition of Caffè Letterario Moak, the national Narration contest promoted by Caffè Moak in cooperation with Archinet. With the 2014 edition, Moak wanted to pay homage to the memory of William Shakespeare, playwright and poet of the 16th century, since his 450th birthday will be celebrated this year. One can take part by sending an unpublished short story where coffee is undisputed protagonist. Deadline is June 23rt, 2014 within midnight. The winner will be revealed during the price-giving evening on October 11th, which will be held in the areas of the new Moak business district, as always. Furthermore, all chosen short stories will be published in the 2014 anthology “Storied about coffee”. However, the names of the panel and President that will have to judge all stories and evaluate them as for originality, relation to the topic and writing style, are unknown yet. Five finalists will be chosen among all, who will compete for the 2014 edition-winning award. The Moak Literary Competition receives every year more and more adhesions and represents an important showcase for young writers that will be able to emerge in the national panorama of literature thanks to their talent. An opportunity for them, but also for Moak to promote and support art and culture.
