Visit the Templo Mayor Museum and be inspired

 

The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) is looking for new "tlacuilos" (the "tlacuilos" were in charge of narrating the myths and posting Mexica rituals on manuscripts) willing to tell the Mexicans of today and foreigners the greatness of the Mexica culture, mythology, history, archeology and events of the Conquest and the Viceroyalty.

 

In this sense, the First National Contest for Children and Young adult Storytelling of the Templo Mayor Museum opened, with two categories: first, for students between 10 to 14 years of age, and the second for those 15 to 20 years old who will have until November 30th to submit an original, unpublished short story written in Spanish to address some of these topics.

 

The INAH will publish the winning stories in an anthology that is planned to come out during the first months of 2010; it will also be illustrated by young Mexican graphic designers. The results will be announced on December 10th through the website INAH www.inah.gob.mx. The award will be made on the 18th of the same month in the Templo Mayor Museum.
