Prada<\/a> want to find the next literary star – and it could be you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Miuccia Prada<\/a> has always been celebrated as a designer of unusual intellect (she has a PhD in political science, after all), and so her label has never shied away from experimenting and innovating in the quest for something new – consider this competition no different.<\/p>\n Working alongside Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore<\/a>, one of Italy’s leading publishers, Prada<\/a> is looking for new writers to take inspiration from their new collection of optical frames and pen a short story (or stories) focusing on “the inquire of the reality and its perception”.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat are the realities that our eyes give back to us? And how are these realities filtered through lenses?\u201d the competition asks.<\/p>\n “By using the metaphor of prescription glasses, Prada enters a world made of written words, rather than spoken, thus launching a challenge to explore and enhance the individual interpretation of reality. Optical frames become an opportunity and a tool to investigate diverse creative worlds: a preferred channel and a window on our world, and – why not – on new potential worlds.”<\/p>\n As for the prize, the winning short story will receive \u20ac5,000 and will see their work published as a digital book that will be distributed through the Prada website.<\/p>\n If you think you’re up to it, get scribbling (or typing). The competition ends 18th June and entries should be between ten pages minimum (that’s 4000 words) and a maximum of 20 pages (8000 words). Check out all the terms and conditions and submit your entry at the Prada Journal website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prada want to find the next literary star – and it could be you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":18042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9418],"tags":[4161,4160,1787,324,4158,4159],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
