An evening of poetry, talent, and reflection with special guest Montserrat Nebrera.

This Thursday, April 24th, we joyfully celebrated the awards ceremony of the 39th Xaloc Literary Contest, under the theme Glimpses of Hope: Young Voices for the Future.” The assembly hall was filled with students, families, and members of the educational community, all gathered to enjoy an evening rich in emotion, creativity, and literary commitment. 

The event featured the special presence of Montserrat Nebrera, jurist, professor, and renowned communicator, who delivered an inspiring speech about the power of words and the importance of free expression among young people. 

Winners and finalists recited excerpts from their works, offering moments of profound poetic beauty and critical insight into the world around us. The theme of this edition, centered on hope and visions of the future, served as a guiding thread for texts full of sensitivity and strength. 

The evening concluded with a small reception, providing an opportunity to share impressions and congratulate participants in a warm and festive atmosphere. 

Once again, Xaloc’s Literary Contest proves to be a meaningful platform for giving voice to new generations and nurturing a passion for reading and writing.
