Once again, the time has come to award the children and young people who took part in the Second Edition of the Literary Contest in 3 Words. Just like last year, we have decided to host the ceremony within the splendid setting of the Turin International Book Fair, in the space generously provided by IBS.it, who served as our partner in organizing this edition. The stories for this edition were centered around the three words chosen from the poll we launched on our website last year: Time, History, and World. Participation was once again enormous.At the end of an evaluation process that lasted nearly two months, our jurors\u2014Vittorio Emanuele Orlando (Editor-in-Chief of Focus Junior), Diego Dejaco (Publisher), Biagio Bagini (Writer), Alessandra Gnecchi Ruscone (Editor), and Maria Canella (University Professor)\u2014first selected the top 25 from each category, which will be featured in the Anthology expected to be available at the end of September. After that, they faced the hard task of choosing the three winners for each category.For the Primary School category, first place was awarded to Rebecca Bonanno from the Dante Alighieri Primary School in Borgomanero with the story titled “Il tempo”, second place went to Gabriele Morichetti from the Bollini Primary School in Novara with “L\u2019orologio del tempo”, and third place to Michela Cirenaica, also from the Dante Alighieri Primary School in Borgomanero, with “Il mondo pi\u00f9 bello”. Each of the three winners earns a subscription to Focus Junior, book purchase vouchers, and a visit to the Focus editorial office.For the Lower Secondary School category (Middle School), first place went to Rebecca Vicini from the Scuola Media Duca D\u2019Aosta in Novara with the story “Tempo, Storia, Mondo”, second place to Ottavia Steffanini from the Istituto Salesiano San Lorenzo in Novara with her story “Tempo, Storia, Mondo”, and third place to Alessio Mandara from the Scuola Secondaria Don G. Rossi in Varallo Pombia with the story titled “Il cerchio del tempo”.These three young winners each earned a Tolino E-Reader and 5 ebooks, which were presented by Giulia Mozzato from IBS, along with book purchase vouchers and a visit to the Salani Publishing House.Finally, for the High School category (High School), first place went to Sara Rigolio from the Istituto Salesiano San Lorenzo in Novara with her story titled “Il tempo della mente”, second place to Veronica Vecchi from IPS G. Ravizza in Novara with “The other side of the mirror”, and third place to Giovanna D\u2019Alessio from IPSIA Bellini in Novara with “Il mondo nell\u2019anima”.All three win a weekend for two people at the Festivaletteratura in Mantua, along with book purchase vouchers.This year as well, we wanted to award a Special Jury Prize to honor the work that struck us the most. This time, it was awarded to Rodica Berbecel from the Provincial Center for Adult Education (CPIA) of Asti for her story “Pagine di vita”,who won a gift voucher for purchasing books.This award ceremony was the crowning achievement of a year of hard work, and without the help of so many people, we would not have been able to carry it through. Therefore, a special thank you goes to all the jurors for their commitment and dedication; to Maria Jos\u00e9 Castelli, Patricia Veltri, and Giulia Mozzato from IBS for believing in our project; to Cristina Foschini and Lorenzo Mauri for their immense support, which, as always, was fundamental; to Luca Alberti from Micromatic for the beautiful trophies he crafts specifically for us every year; to Egidio Maggioni from Emme&E for supplying the certificates handed out to all the kids; to Antonella Minetto, Marco Benzoni, and Marco Mocchi for their great work in supporting the jury; and to Alessandro Biggio, because he is always there for us. Thank you\u2014thank you to everyone.Below you can see a few moments from the award ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n
