Kavidanda Sahitya Samaj, one of the premier literary organizations of Nepal based in Chaitawan, is conducting a national-level Nepali poetry competition soon. Samaj Chairperson LB Chhetri told TGT that the collection of poems is over, and the process of evaluation is underway. “We shall invite top ten finalists to Chitawan for a residential event and announce the results soon after Corona shut-down,” said Mr. Chhetri. “We shall also invite a few guest poets for recital and honor some legendary poets,” he added. The competition carries cash prizes of Rs. 15060/-, 10060/- and 7560/- for the first, second and the third positions respectively and citations.
The Samaj has been organizing such national literary festivals every year, changing its focus from genre to genre. This year’s focus, understandably is on poetry.
