While some write reams about delicious food, this does not mean we should let food we find distasteful render us speechless nor let it quash our creativity. Hence the Alimentarium is inviting you to describe the repugnance you feel towards certain dishes or food! We are launching a contest for short stories (in English, French or German) on the emotion of disgust, so contemplate the food that disgusts you, get writing and send us your musings! You may be one of the three lucky authors to win a gift voucher and see your short story published in three languages on our alimentarium.org website!
 

• Subject: an original short story on the emotion of disgust related to food, written in English, French or German
• Length: maximum 12 000 keystrokes (including spaces)
• Deadline: texts to be sent by email to Olivier.Mottaz@alimentarium.org before 30 October 2020. NB: Entries must NOT be submitted as a file attachment but included as plain text in the body of an email. File attachments will not be opened and therefore not entered into the competition.
