Linden tree grains


Linden tree grains

we will weave our summers

singing in the island terraces

deflowering the water of salt


in the sun


we will burn in silences

in the day that breaks

playing with the sweets of water

under the sheets of threads

we will feel the vein

living out the voices



of squares made out of stone



Carpets of linden tree


(translation Italian\English Nabeelah Shabbir)

We're proud to present Bolzano Comics, an international comic contest dedicated to short, wordless comics that narrate without the use of the classic balloon, and are therefore international by their very nature.

The contest was born as part of the Bolzano ShortFilmFestival, an event which has seen, in the last years, a rising interest for animation and comics. Hence the need to strenghten the link between these worlds through an ad hoc contest.

Submission deadline: August 15th 2009

First price: 500 Euro

Second price: 200 Euro
