Young Writers
Award 2016/Certificates of Recognition.
After
one year of our continuous struggle for, poetry (literature) to be louder than
it already is. We realized that poets have continued to breathe life into their
art, despite the moribund world that we live in. Where three (3) square meal
can no longer be guaranteed for all working class poets/families in the world
at large.
We
have been able to appreciate/support poets in our little way(s) from the
inception of our MOVEMENT for the best. Last year November 2015, we had the
maiden edition of our yearly poetry event, tagged BEAUTY OF WORDS I, in honour
of the great laureate Professor Wole Soyinka @81.
We
called for submission of poems, to celebrate the bard. After scrutinizing, editing
and the judging process, we had ten (10) shortlisted poets, and latter on three
(3) winners.
To
appreciate them, for their effort(s), we issued to them, certificates of Appreciation and Books, from different
authors, to the shortlisted poets, and winners for the Professor Wole Soyinka
@81 celebration.
For
this year 2016, we have decided to make the second edition of BEAUTY OF WORDS
an evening of memorable experience. From an interactive lecture with a bard
Nigerian poet to art exhibitions, to performance from 15top notch poets, and
5music ambassadors.
Also
in our agenda for the second edition of Beauty Of Words is to give out
certificates of recognition to deserving individuals and Awards for three
