The Tamil Literary Garden has announced their 2017 scholarship contest.
This year the organization invites high school and undergraduate students to submit short stories based on the Tamil diaspora. The winner will receive $1000 and be recognized with a certificate at the Tamil Literary Garden awards ceremony, to be held in Toronto in June 2017.
Entries should reflect the significance of the Tamil language, identity and culture. Stories should not exceed 1500 words and must be submitted by March 15th to amuttu@gmail.com.
Since its formation in 2001 the Tamil Literary Garden, a registered charity, has been committed to the promotion of studies and literary activities in Tamil both nationally, in Canada, and internationally.
This mandate is carried out through the promotion of creative writing, translations, book releases, awards, conferences, and workshops. The organization’s annual marquee event is the Tamil Literary Garden Awards – which celebrates preeminent contributions to Tamil literature each year from around the world.
