An award to enhance culture, creativity and the link between young people and the local area
A new Literary Prize is being launched in Arzachena, dedicated to H.S. Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, a figure who has left an indelible mark on the history of the region. His contribution has transformed northeastern Sardinia into one of the world’s most renowned tourist destinations, successfully combining economic development, environmental respect, and the enhancement of local traditions.
Promoted by the Municipality of Arzachena, this initiative aims to offer young people an opportunity to rediscover the connection between past and future, exploring the vision and determination of a man who believed in the potential of this land. The prize is open to third-year students of lower secondary schools within the municipality, who are invited to submit written works dedicated to Prince Aga Khan IV and his role in the community’s development.
“This award is a well-deserved tribute to a man who recognized and enhanced the essence of our land, turning it into a model of sustainable development and innovation,” says Mayor Roberto Ragnedda. “We want to convey to the younger generations the importance of vision and courage—qualities that enabled him to look beyond and invest in Arzachena’s future.”
