Universitat Rovira i Virgili

Flash fiction competition in a tweet

NEW DEADLINE: 8TH APRIL!!

Together with the Faculty of Chemistry, the Faculty of Arts is organising a micro-story competition under the slogan "Letters with lots of chemistry". The competition is open to the entire URV university community (students, administrative and service staff, teaching and research staff, URV alumni, the Iubilo association, etc.).

The micro-stories, or 'twitterature', may be about anything provided that they are related in some way to the competition slogan. They must have a maximum length of one tweet (280 characters) and will be shared on social networks via Twitter, accompanied by the hashtag #Relat50URV. All the micro-stories will be retweeted from the Twitter accounts of the URV's Faculties of Arts (@lletresURV) and Chemistry (@quimicaURV).

The micro-story competition started on 15 February 2022 and will end on 8 April 2022. An expert jury will be responsible for judging the competition, assessing, among other aspects, the originality, clarity and correctness of the text and its relevance to the slogan. The competition will award prizes to the three best micro-stories chosen by the jury (the jury prize), and to the short story that receives the most votes (likes) from the public (the public prize).

The 4 winning entries are:
