Council General Launches the International Competition for Writings on Le Taillandier

As a way of promoting further the “International Year on the Theme of Pierre Auguste Le Taillandier”, the Council General of the SSVP opens the International Literary Competition.

This competition was announced in the 16th President General’s programme for his term of office, which instituted the “themed years” in order to spread knowledge of the life, work and legacy of the founders of the first Vincentian Conference in 1833. Council General hopes that many Vincentians, especially young people, will take part in the Le Taillandier competition, but all entries will be most welcome!

Cash prizes will be awarded for the three best entries (1000, 750 and 500 euros, respectively). The SSVP Conferences to which the winners belong will also receive a cash award to the same value, to be spent on behalf of the families and individuals they help, or on Vincentian works.

The procedures, with the rules and the appendix for this competition, are available on the CGI website (www.ssvpglobal.org). The written entries must be no more than 20 pages long.

Entries may be submitted in one of five languages: Portuguese, Spanish, English, Italian and French. The closing date for sending in dissertations/studies will be 8th July 2022. The organising committee will announce the final result on 9 September 2022, and the prizes will be sent to the winners immediately afterwards.
