Fourth Edition Award Ceremony<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Once again, the time has come to award the children and young people who took part in the Fourth Edition of the Literary Contest in 3 Words. Just like last year, we have decided to host the ceremony in Novara within the splendid setting of the Sforza Castle (Piazza Martiri della Libert\u00e0, 215), as part of the literary festival “Novara di Carta”.The stories for this edition were centered around the three words chosen from the poll we launched on our website last year: Fantasy, Infinity, and Journey. Participation was once again enormous, with nearly 1,500 participants from all over Italy. At the end of an evaluation process that lasted over four months, our jurors\u2014Marco Scardigli, Annarita Briganti, Elena Puccinelli, Marco Benzoni, and Daniela Raineri\u2014first selected the top 30 from each category, which will be featured in the Anthology available at the end of September. After that, they faced the hard task of choosing the nine winners, three for each category. In addition, two Jury Special Prizes will also be awarded this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the extremely hot summer day, the award ceremony was attended by a very large audience. The ninety finalists,coming from all over Italy, gathered in the beautiful setting of the Sforza Castle in Novara and followed the event with great anticipation and enthusiasm.On the truly impressive stage, we were honored to host three members of the jury: Annarita Briganti, journalist and writer, alongside Marco Scardigli and Daniela Raineri, both writers, who entertained the audience by speaking about their experience as jurors. Before moving on to the report of the ceremony, we would like to thank Carlo Giordanetti and Luisa Gigante from Swatch Italia for believing in our initiative again this year.To begin the report: the President of the Foundation spoke briefly about the previous editions of the Literary Contest in 3 Words and the continuous growth in interest and participation, before handing the floor over to the jurors for their stories.Afterwards, Laura Minuto, Vice President, read out the names of the ninety finalists.Then, starting with the Primary School category, the winners were called onto the stage and presented with their wonderful prizes. Alberto De Zen from Divignano took third place with his story “Il videogioco”. Tommy Andreacchio from Como collected second prize for his story “Il viaggio dei topi”. Next to take the stage was Andrea Lombardi from Novara, who won first prize with his story “La zuppa della Fantasia”.The ceremony continued with the Middle School awards. Third place went to Alice Maria Improta from Fonte Nuova (Rome) with the story “Immaginare l\u2019invisibile”, and second place to Maria Veres, also from Fonte Nuova (Rome), with the story “Immaginare un\u2019altra vita”. In an extraordinarily rare coincidence, both attend the same school and the same class. First place was awarded to Filippo Siri from Langhirano (Parma), author of the story “Il cane di titanio”.After the official photos, we moved on to the final category, High School. Third place was awarded to Alessandro Maggiolini from Novara with the story “Storia di un numero 0”, and second place to Lorenzo Martinuzzi from Genoa with “Colui che sorride”. Finally, the first-place winner was awarded: Alessandro Alghisi from Brescia, with the story “Incroci”.Following the group photos, writer Alessandro Barbaglia took the stage to make a surprise announcement of an additional prize for the thirty high school finalists: a creative writing workshop led by author Francesco Gungui, set to take place in Novara during the month of October.A huge thank you to everyone who made all of this possible: Laura, Fabio, Michela, Maria, Antonella, Marco, and anyone else we may have forgotten. We look forward to seeing you all next year for the fifth edition.Below you can see a few moments from the award ceremony and the winners:<\/p>\n\n\n
