The writer Gerges Shukri won the "Over Forty" category award for his work "About a Trojan Poet," which reimagines the Trojan epic through poetic texts that present a different perspective of a marginalized Trojan poet. The work aims to showcase the wisdom of the defeated in the face of the victorious Greek arrogance. In the "Under Forty" category, Aya Mansour was awarded for her project "Women of the Long River," which relies on women's oral memories regarding the Iraq war and its occupation.
