Garima Rana was declared the winner of "Bhavisyavani", an international poetry competition, amidst a ceremony at the Shilpee Theatre in Battisputali on Saturday.

A panel of judges including popular poets Biplov Pratik, Netra Atom, Seema Abhas and Sneh Sayami declared Rana the winner for her poem ‘Jug pherinay tyo din’ after the 20 best submissions recited their poetry. Rana’s poetry was about the customary struggle of the ordinary Nepalese who expect times to take a turn one day.

Laxman Shrestha won the second prize for his poem ‘Ma sirishko phool’ and Ramnath Khanal won the third place for his ‘Bhavisyavani’. The top three winners also pocketed a cash purse of Rs 50,000, Rs 25,000 and Rs 10,000. The competition, which began from July 15 with the collection of poems under the theme “Let’s write tomorrow’s poems, today!”, was participated by over 200 poets under 30 years of age.
Neal Bikram Shahi, Sabin Prabhat Gyawali, Aman Basnet, Laxman Shrestha, Nitya Pandey, Fuchchi Jamuna, Asmita Karki, Nabin Bhusal, Prajwal Adhikari, Manoj Bhandari, Raghu Pariyar, Nishma Adhikari, Sagar Bhandari, Ayushma Adhikari, Narayani Khadka, Manish Baral, Manoj Thapa and Anu Thapaliya were other poets selected or the final 20 for recitation after the preliminary screening on August 28.

All the judges along with chief guest Bimal Niva also recited their poetry and appreciated the works from the participants. The poems from the top 20 will be published in the book Bhavisyavani which will be published by early 2016.
