Cellphone Text Poetry writing Contest

The National Commission for Culture and the Arts in cooperation with the Filipinas Institute of Translation and the UP Institute of Creative Writing, are launching DIONATEXT, an SMS poetry writing contest.

"The contest aims to popularize and revitalize the tradition of one of the oldest forms of poetry by using modern technology. The diona is a short poem composed of three versified rhyming lines. DIONATEXT entries must be
written in Filipino and must express love within the family.

Every week for the month of February, judges will pick 2 winners and the winning entries will be compiled in a book which will be released at the awarding ceremonies". (Thanks JJ!)
