There is time until May 23, 2025 to participate in the Let's Read Award – an ideal tool for sharing your passion and cultivating your talent, as well as an open platform for secondary school students, aged 13 to 19, to immerse themselves in the world of creative writing and learn the basics.

The project's promotion committee is composed of the Maria and Goffredo Bellonci Foundation, by the Centre for Books and Reading of the Ministry of Culture and by BPER Banca – in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI).

You can compete with text stories or stories with images on a free theme, unpublished and in Italian. The stories must meet the following requirements:

• texts – between 5.400 and 10.800 characters in length (including spaces).
• Stories in pictures, created with any technique (comic, illustration, silent story or other), composed of a minimum of one and a maximum of five tables.

The prizes include up to 1500 euros for the first place: the award ceremony will be held in Rome in June, during the award ceremony of the Premio Strega Giovani. Click here to consult the complete regulation.
