Awarding prizes to poets

Over the past year, the Yen Thanh District Poetry Association has achieved many results in its activities: successfully organizing the second term congress, publishing special newsletter No. 31 to celebrate the new year, editing and publishing the 82-page anthology "Yen Thanh in Spring", including 52 poems and preparing to introduce to readers the poetry anthology "Yen Thanh in the season of red flowers" before the upcoming 26th Yen Thanh District Party Congress.

Especially in the first days of the spring of At Mui year 2015, the Tang Poetry Association launched a contest among poetry-loving members to respond to the poem "Celebrating Spring At Mui" by author Nguyen Tien Loi - Chairman of the District People's Committee. After 10 days, 75 poets inside and outside the association sent poems to the Organizing Committee to participate in the contest. The poems reflected the spring energy in the heroic homeland, strictly following the rules, especially the contrast of ideas, tones, words, and word types.

At the meeting, Yen Thanh district leaders awarded certificates of merit to 12 winning authors, including 1 first prize, 3 second prizes, 3 third prizes and 5 consolation prizes.

Delegates also heard leaders of Yen Thanh district and Minh Thanh commune report on some basic features of the socio-economic development of their homeland so that poets could have more sources of materials and inspiration for their creations.
