I entered into a writing contest (organised by a European university) a few months ago with a short story in French. I've gotten news that I won 1st prize in the category 'French as an acquired language'!
My story story will be published in an anthology and I've won 500 euros
Only a pity I won't be able to attend the ceremony, as I will be traveling through the US at that time.
At last some good news in these stressful weeks
