The Student Committee of Burgas Municipality (UKOB) is hosting the first edition of the Youth Poetry Contest “Burgas Inspires”. This initiative provides young talents with an opportunity to express their creative potential and their emotional connection to the city of Burgas.
Each participant is required to write a poem inspired by a quote from a favorite poet from Burgas. The quote should not appear in the poem itself but must be referenced in the application form.
The contest is open in two age categories:
-
14–18 years
-
19–30 years
Deadline for registration: November 1
Application form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSccz7x2MRDQNsfza52Qvakdj-D2ANUk7OsxTMXRuJqMJZ6Wcg/viewform?pli=1
All works will be evaluated anonymously by a jury including established Burgas poets, literary figures, and representatives of the organizers.
The best poems will be presented during a musical-poetic performance on December 2 at 7:00 PM in Hall 2, Flora Exhibition Center.
This initiative supports Burgas’ candidacy for European Capital of Culture 2032 and aims to demonstrate that the city continues to be a home and source of inspiration for new generations of creators.
