The Ministry of Social Development is now accepting submissions—short stories and poetry—for a writing contest entitled “It All Happened in Buenos Aires.†What makes this writing competition unusual? Only the over-65 can enter! In a world where people spend billions of dollars to hide their age, this competition recognizes that life brings more than wrinkles.

Submissions close July 31st and a jury will select winners to be placed in an anthology.
