2022 edition: plurilingualism from the perspective of sustainable development
The awards ceremony was also an opportunity to launch the third edition and unveil its theme entitled Languages in germ: eco-poetics and ecological issues. This aims to approach plurilingualism from the angle of sustainable development, in connection with the biodiversity of languages, to raise awareness of eco-citizenship and the various ecological and climatic issues. For 2022, the organizing committee is broadening the eligible audience for the competition, which is now open to French-speaking high school students.
To enter, submit your short story by July 30, 2022, 11:59 pm (Paris time).
Two options are available to compete:
- Individual short story in classic text format: a short story written in French but involving at least one language or variety other than standard French.
- Possibly collective digital work (Prix PERL): for digital plurilingual texts, playing on the multimodality offered by technological supports for writing between languages.
