About this event

The Persian language bonds the three neighbouring countries of Afghanistan, Iran and Tajikistan and the Diaspora.

Young poets, under the age of 30, from the region and all over the world, compete annually for this reputable prize. The winners will be announced at the event and read their poems, while talks by famous speakers from the three countries, intertwined with music and dance from their countries will inform and entertain the audience.

Please note that all of this event's proceedings are in Persian language.
