Been to Pisa? Written About It? An Award is Awaiting Writers, if you've been to Pisa, here's your big chance. Wild Writing Women Jacqeline Harmon Butler hasn't been to Pisa, which is a good thing for you, because she keeps winning these awards. Award enough is being flown to Italy to accept! See Jacqueline's award-winning stories at http://www.wildwritingwomen.com/JHB/ Here's the official call for stories: The International Journalism Award "Rustichello da Pisa" organized by the Pisa Tourist Office. The award is named after Rustichello da Pisa, who was born in the Italian city in the XIII century, and is considered the first journalist for his important work of writing and chronicling events contemporary to his times.  The award, which was instituted in 1955 and reinstated in 1997 after a 21-year interruption, has become one of Italy's most prestigious recognitions presented to members of the Italian and foreign press.  For this occasion, the Pisa Tourist Office kindly asks for your submission of any articles written about Pisa and its province.  A jury will select the winning articles and the chosen journalists will be invited to the award ceremony to be held in Pisa at the end of this year. Articles may be submitted by fax, email or regular mail at your earliest convenience and no later than October 31, 2003. We look forward to hearing from you.
