Or maybe, you become impulsively entwined in writing the premise of a story in your phone’s notes. Ravello Tales is an award given each year by the European University Centre for Cultural Heritage and the Ravello-Scala Tourist Board, to promote unpublished short narratives inspired by the history, events, characters or places of Ravello. Anyone can compete sending - by the 15th of November 2020 - a short narrative in English inspired by Ravello (12.000 words as an indication) together with his/her bionote (150 words). The award will consist of the publication of the winning short narrative, plus a 1-week stay in Ravello for two persons. Additional narratives, even if not awarded, may be included in the final publication, at the Tourist Board discretion. Follow your inspiration, submit before the deadline and keep writing!

There are places in the world where, even if you don’t want to, you would bump into. On the contrary there are others so hidden and remote that you would struggle to get to. There are crowded, noisy places that would bring you into isolation and there are others so silent and quiet that invite you to pleasantly mingle with people. There are places which are fully-equipped, but cold and impersonal and others where any single stone would reveal history and traditions in a cosy and intimate atmosphere. If you are looking for such a treasure and rare venue, you’ve got it.
