"Be a poet for a day", contest dedicated to the National Culture Day

We are looking for new literary talent! You have often heard it said that " Romanians are born poets!". The writer Vasile Alecsandri wrote this statement for the first time in 1852, introducing the volume "Balade adunate și îndreptate". Today, we want to convince ourselves that this hypothesis is still valid.

On 15 January, on National Culture Day, Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania invites you to pay tribute to the great poet Mihai Eminescu. We challenge you to freely express your talent and creativity and become a "Poet for a day".

✨ Take part:

Let yourself be carried away by the muse and continue the famous poem „Ce-ți doresc eu ție, dulce Românie” by Mihai Eminescu.

🏆 The most inspiring young poet will win a deluxe eight-volume collection of Eminescu's complete works.

📅 Deadline for entries: 14 January 2024

Contest Calendar:

Entry period: 8 January - 14 January

Selection and evaluation of poems: 15 January

Announcement and Award ceremony: 15 January
