Last year, we launched the first edition of the contest QR-TALES, without knowing if anyone would send micro-tales to fit them on a qrcode. We’re still surprised with the repercussion: 332 tales from more than 15 different countries.

The jury finally agreed that the winner for the 1st QR-Stories contest was the following:

"THE DOCTOR" by Pablo Navarro Valero

-You have this for your stomach pain.
-I repeat... ¡my stomatch doesn't hurt and I am a pencil!

Appart from the winner, there were a lot of other interesting tales. If you want to get an idea about the level the competition reached, here you have some other stories:

"LA CUCARACHA " de Sevario No debí jugar al póker con una cucaracha. Intentaré recuperarme, si es que me deja entrar en casa.

"EL CUENTO MÁS LARGO DEL MUNDO " de Setarcos Lo que aquí no cuento.

"SÍ.QUIERO" de Ana Belén Recibí un paquete con un anillo y una carta pidiéndome matrimonio. No tengo novio pero he aceptado.

"THE END OF SECRET AGENT MAN" de Mike "Tell me your plans, Dr. Evil." Bang! "Does not fit in a QR, Austin."
