On the occasion of the 22nd Week of the Italian Language in the World, the Italian Cultural Institute of Washington and the Embassy of Italy call for a contest for middle school and high school students of the Italian language in the United States.
This year’s theme is ‘L’italiano e i giovani. Come scusa? Non ti followo’”. Considering the focus not only on youth but also on how language interacts with digital tools, the contest concentrates on erasure (or black out) poetry, a literary and visual art form popular on social media. Students are requested to use this technique to compose a poem in Italian on a topic of their choice, either individually or in a group.

The award ceremony will take place in presence and online on October 19th, 2022.
The Deadline to submit the applications is October 5, 2022.
