Erika Elizari (argakzia: Elkar).

According to the editorial Elkar, Erika Elizari, from Hernani, has received the scholarship of the 21st edition of the Igartza Prize. This is the award granted annually by the City Council of Beasain, the company CAF and the editorial Elkar, with the aim of helping young writers to develop their project.

The Zendabalitz novel of the Church will be the chronicle of an accidental flight, guided by the internal monologues of the passengers who have climbed the plane.

The Church, licensed in Audiovisual Communication, has recognised that creativity has so far also focused on this field, particularly through the audiovisual industry.
