All fields of possibility… With this beautiful expression, Jean-Michel Galy, the municipal councilor delegated to Seniors, introduced the award ceremony for the winners of the fourth edition of the short story competition. The storytellers received congratulations from the mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi.
“I see vibrant seniors, people who smile. The municipality is committed to their side to promote intellectual and physical activities to improve their daily lives,” he added.
An important piece of information: The stories by seniors from Nice are among the most read at the Louis Nucéra Library, a sign of the quality of these works, which are amateur, of course, but written with heart.
Here is the ranking:
1st prize: Madeleine Cafedjian, 58 years old “Mission: The Adventures of a Pyramidyon…”
2nd prize tie: Suzanne Soulier-Michelucci, 67 years old, “The Borries Children and the Tradition of Building Mountain Huts” and Marcel Tournayre, 84 years old, “The Chapel: The Privilege of the Words of Old Stones and the Memory of the World”
3rd prize tie: Sylvette Cohen, 65 years old, “For the Love of Her: The Story of Her Grandmother’s Magic Stone”; Hélène Giudicelli, 84 years old, “The Stones of My Childhood: Children’s Games”; Jean-Pierre Marpinaud, 74 years old, “Ancient Stones: The Remains of Tournoël Castle, A Preserved Heritage”
