TALES CONTEST RULES IN QUARANTINE 2021

Amanuta invites boys and girls to participate in the contest "Tales in Quarantine 2021". We want to provide a space for different voices to express what they are living or feeling in these times of pandemic and quarantine. Through writing we seek a way to empathize with the children who have been at home for so long.

The stories must be written in Spanish and have a maximum length of 500 and 1.000 words depending on the category. The contest will run until June 11 and the prizes will be gift cards to exchange for Amanuta books at amanuta.cl.

We also want to invite teachers to encourage their students to participate, since we will also have prizes for the colleges or schools where the winners come from. Boys and girls from anywhere in Chile can participate.
