Attention Creatives, Prada Has a Competition for You
Think you’ve got a little bit of Truman Capote in you? Some Stephen King? Or some David Sedaris? Prada and publishing group Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore are pleased to announce the second edition of Prada Journal, a prize reserved for emerging literary voices. Last year’s inaugural go-round saw 1,300 manuscripts submitted, written in over 30 languages. Five winners were selected and each awarded €5000 for their short stories, which were read out loud by Jonathan Ames, Zoe Kazan, Anthony Mackie, Jay McInerney, and Gary Shteyngart at an event held at the Prada Epicenter Store in Soho last Fall.
For this year’s iteration, writers from around the globe are encouraged to submit an original piece of work that explores the visual universe through words; understanding the transformation that we are undergoing today and how society will change tomorrow. Writers can use the brand’s eyewear collection as inspiration and the Prada Journal as a starting point in order to express ideas that pave the way for change.
The winners will be selected by a panel of international publishing experts whose names will be revealed in the upcoming weeks. For more info, and to submit, click here.
