2009 NCCA WRITERS’ PRIZE OPENS
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) is now accepting entries for the 2009 NCCA Writers’ Prize, which is one of the country’s top literary awards.
Originally conceptualized by National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario during his stint at the NCCA, the biennial award aims to “encourage the continuing development of a pluralistic culture by the people themselves”.
The NCCA Writers’ Prize further hopes to create an avenue for writers to have a direct hand in the development of Filipino literature through the P250,000 grant to be given to each of the winners to be given in four tranches. Through the grant, the writers will be freed from the demands of their work and shall be able to focus on the writing project for one year.
The grant is open to all Filipino writers, of legal age, except to the officers and members of the NCCA Secretariat and the incumbent Executive Council Members of the NCCA Committee on Literary Arts and Committee on Dramatic Arts.
MECHANICS
