Morocco Library Project Short Story Competition
Morocco has a rich storytelling tradition, and we're thrilled to help launch a new generation of storytellers each year!
The 2023 Competition
This year's theme is "family resilience"! Write an original story or a creative retelling of a Moroccan myth or folktale, in English and touching on family life. This competition is free and open to all high school students in Morocco, and we hope you'll find it fun and inspiring. There will be prizes at the end, and an anthology of selected stories will be published in ebook and printed form.
