Prada and Giangiacomo Feltrinelli Editore opens the third edition of the Prada Journal, the international literary contest dedicated to emerging writers.

The Prada Journal collection of optical frames, developed in collaboration with Luxottica, continues to be a key tool to explore the world through different lenses and a new way to see the things and people around us.

This year’s theme is: “Illuminations, shadows and mirages. Things are not always what they seem”.

The Prada Feltrinelli Prize, launched in 2013,continues with its aim of creating an independent literary research platform open to writers from all over the world who are able to capture the subtleties of reality, translating them into written words.  The winners from last season can be viewed here.

The winners for 2015 will be awarded a cash prize, and their stories will be published as an eBook in the Prada Journal digital anthology and individually in the Feltrinelli Zoom catalogue.

The contest closes on August 31^st.  Apply here!

The winners will be selected by a jury of prestigious international literary experts whose names are yet to be revealed so stay tuned!.
