Awards ceremony for the 2025 edition of the Multilingual Short Story Competition
The awards ceremony will be attended by writer Maryam Madjidi, patron of the 2025 edition of the Competition, and artist-researcher Lilyana Petrova, patron of the Inciam Prize for Digital Creation.
This evening will honor the winners: excerpts from their short stories will be read by actress Pauline Darcel. The readings will be accompanied by a round-table discussion moderated by Marielle Anselmo (Inalco). She will bring the young authors together with the publishing sponsors and members of the jury. Students from Ecole Estienne (partner of the competition for the third year running) will also be honored for their publishing work.
Finally, the evening will close with the launch of the 2026 edition. To familiarize themselves with this, the public will be invited to take part in an interactive multilingual writing workshop led by Florian Targa (REVE service - Inalco).
About Pauline Darcel
Trained as an actress, Pauline Darcel is also a singer and likes to get her body moving in shows that are often hybrid and close to performance art. After graduating from a literary preparatory class with a theater option, she spent a year in Minsk (Belarus) following a multidisciplinary training program and co-founded her own theater company, La Syncope. She works for other companies as a performer and assistant director.
The Multilingual Short Story Competition is a project supported by Inalco's Student Life and Student Success Department (REVE), with the collaboration of Aix-Marseille Université's InCIAM and the partnership of École Estienne.
