The theme for our 2023 edition was: "Our heroes and heroines." Do you know what that means? Together with the more than 2,000 participants, we discovered fascinating stories
People who have had a giant impact on their lives both personally and historically
“A writer, painter, or musician is born... this means that when a child starts primary school, he or she may already be naturally predisposed for some of those skills, even if he or she does not yet know it.” - Gabriel García Márquez
You can take part in an incredible experience touring the most important places in Gabriel García Márquez’s life and stories. These places include Cartagena de Indias, Barranquilla, and Aracataca—the very town where Gabo was born. Best of all, you won’t have to worry about anything, because all lodging, meal, and transportation costs will be covered. You can also bring along one of your parents or a legal guardian.
The winning stories will be published in an anthology (both digital and hardcopy). Best of all, this book will be distributed free of charge by the Gabo Foundation and CAF - Development Bank of Latin America, so everyone can enjoy the wonderful stories you have created!
And that's not all, there’s even more! The winning stories will also be promoted and shared on both the Gabo Foundation’s and CAF - Development Bank of Latin America’s digital channels. You'll be famous online! Isn't that exciting? Don't waste any more time and start writing those amazing stories. We hope you’ll join us on this unforgettable adventure!
