About:
Since 2003, the Spanish Resource Center of Albuquerque (SRC) has overseen the Cuentistas contest, an essay contest in Spanish for New Mexico high school students. Non-native and native Spanish speakers are encouraged to submit creative writing samples for consideration in the contest. All are encouraged to participate to help demonstrate that the Spanish language is alive and thriving in New Mexico. As the contest explains: "No soy ni mago ni ventrílocuo. No tengo que poner voces. Las voces están ahí y las historias que van a leer a continuación hablan por sí mismas. Las últimas ediciones del concurso literario estatal en lengua española han demostrado que hay muchos muchachos de sexto a duodécimo curso en Nuevo México que tienen voz en español y que están dispuestos a hablar alto y claro en su lengua madre o en su segunda lengua." Each year the SRC held the event in partnership with the Instituto Cervantes of Albuquerque, National Hispanic Cultural Center, New Mexico Association for Bilingual Education, New Mexico Public Education Department, University of New Mexico Continuing Education, and the UNM LAII.
