In this Edition of the International Literary Contest Nature (2020-21) we would like to thank you to:

Maximum Potential Education

http://www.maximumpotentialeducation.com/

and the Adjudicators “The Green Sparrows” and “The Green Cat”.

 

We would also like to drop a few words about the works received. Today we disclose here the winners, but a few other works will be included in this year’s Anthology. The pieces of poetry and short stories received portray feelings about humanity, the relation with mother nature and, sometimes, the impact of the pandemics in our life. Nature always blooms during Spring and, for many of us, the results of this Contest are known during that season of flowers and hope. Nevertheless, it is always time to be in deep connection with nature. There is always a sunset to light our lives.

During the next weeks we will share here some of the winning works.

 

Enjoy!
