Kulttuuritoimitus is organizing a short story competition in order to encourage everybody to document these extra ordinary times we are going through because of the corona virus.
Write down your new everyday life in a short story. Describe how your life has changed; maybe you are in quarantine, maybe you are over 70 and are supposed to stay at home all the time, maybe you are all of a sudden working from home while teaching your kids.
You can choose any style you prefer, whether it is fiction, fact or poetry. Just write, but keep the tgene in mind!
Children and youth (15 years and under) are competing in their own series and others (16 years and over, no upper age limit) in their own.
