On March 27 and 28, the twenty-first edition of the Anne Frank National Intercollegiate Literary Essay Contest was held, with the presence of more than 50 participants from schools in the city and with two exceptional literary professionals, Silvia Stornaiolo and Santiago Páez, as jurors. This inter-school essay contest is the only one held in the country, and its main objective is to stimulate a critical view of literature, through reading and commenting on texts that favor the deepening of topics of interest to middle and high school students.
