Do you write? Or do you feel like writing?
Then join the multilingual poetry expo in Anderlecht and let your words shine this winter.
Send us your text on ⋆｡°✩ Metamorphosis ✩°｡⋆
- All languages are invited. Multilingual texts are more than welcome.
- Everyone can participate.
- The theme is “Metamorphosis”. We invite you to write about transformation and change. How does language change? What does growth mean to you personally? How do we evolve together as humans? How are thoughts, feelings, but also society and the world constantly in flux? How do we assign meaning to these movements? And when does change become impossible? What stands in the way of metamorphosis? How you let this inspire your writing is up to you.
- All entries will be shown.
- No texts containing expressions against human diversity. Among others: no racism, no sexism, no transphobia, no ableism, no ageism.
- Deadline for submissions: December 1, 2025
