Suriname Rabindranath Tagore Creative Arts Awards Ceremony
Tuesday, November 22nd, 5:00 p.m. (1700 hrs) – University Guesthouse, Leysweg 70
PRESS INVITATION
The Suriname Rabindranath Tagore Creative Arts Awards Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, November 22nd, at 5:00 p.m. at the University Guesthouse on Leysweg.
You are cordially and warmly invited to attend and provide coverage for this important event celebrating the work of more than 30 Surinamese student- and adult-artists.
First Lady Mrs. Ingrid Bouterse-Waaldring will hand out awards to over 30 creative artists from Suriname who won school and national competitions in creative art and writing (prose and poetry) competitions.
The competition, which was launched in May 2011 by the Suriname Tagore Celebrations Committee, attracted more than 135 entries from students and adults in Suriname. Judges for the national competitions included members of the Schrijvers Group ’77, Art Vibes United, and the University of Suriname. There were more than 75 creative writing and art entries from students attending schools in Paramaribo, Wanica, and Commewijne.
The prestigious Tagore Art Competition was launched to mark the 150th Birth Anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European and person of color to win a Nobel Prize (1912). Born in 1861, Tagore was a prolific writer, dramatist, poet, artist, philosopher, and international humanist. Across the world, national and international competitions are being held to uphold values in creative excellence in celebration of Tagore.
