Application Deadline: 16th April 2026 at 14.00 hours (GMT +0).

LOCATION: Spain

Casa África launches the 12th edition of Purorrelato, its micro-story contest that aims to promote literary creation that encourages us to feel and think about Africa and to continue showing different realities that approach us to the continent, away from the stereotypes that have marked it for so long.

ELIGIBILITY:

Any person over the age of 18 can participate, with a maximum of three micro-stories per author. Only Casa África staff and winners of previous editions are excluded.

The theme is free, although the micro-stories should be related to Africa in some way. The story could take place inside or outside the continent, and its degree of relation with Africa could range from a detail to the total protagonism of the story.

In addition, the micro-stories must be original and unpublished and must not have won a prize or be pending a decision in other contests or competitions. Participants must guarantee that there are no third-party rights over the micro-stories submitted and will be responsible for any claims that may be made in this respect.

The micro-stories could be submitted in Spanish, English, French, or Portuguese, with a maximum length of 1500 characters (not words), including spaces and excluding the title.

The stories received will be assessed by a jury composed of renowned African and/or Spanish experts in African literature. The deadline for submission is 16th April 2026 at 14.00 hours (GMT +0).
