The international jury of the youth literary contest “A Sea of Words” announced the 10 best stories of the 15th edition, which this year received 45 short stories from youths of 25 different Euro-Mediterranean countries.
The 10 authors will be invited to take part on 25th and 26th November 2022 in several activities in Barcelona.
