HCM CITY — The Hồ Chí Minh City Writers’ Association and Tạp Chí Văn Nghệ Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh (HCM City Literature & Arts ) magazine have launched a poetry contest for professional and amateur authors. The 2023 Poetry Writing Contest to celebrate National Reunification Day on April 30 and May Day seeks works by Vietnamese writers of all ages in the country and overseas with themes about life, love and people. A staff of well-known authors will guide the contest’s participants, if they want, before they submit their work. Participants in the 2023 Poetry Writing Contest must submit their work to the organising board at 81 Trần Quốc Thảo Street, District 1 in HCM City or via email [email protected]. The best works will be published in Tạp Chí Văn Nghệ Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh Văn Nghệ every month before the prize presentation ceremony scheduled in April, 2024.
