THE XXII-TH NOSSIDE 2006 IN HAVANA

The twofold ceremony of rewarding the VI Caribbean Nosside and of the First Presentation of XXII-th International Nosside Prize took place in Havana on 7 February 2006, at the XVth Havana International Book Fair.

Pasquale Amato, the president of the “Centro Studi Bosio” as well as the president of Nosside has presented the XXII-th Edition of the Prize, illustrating the strategy of 2006 Nosside Project.

“The outcomes of Caribbean Nosside 2005 have given reason to the certainty that we had expressed on the intelligence, creativity and higher cultural level of Cuban people.

Considering these results, “Bosio” has decided to release the Cuban poets from the limited participation to the Caribbean Prize and to invite them to take part at International Nosside Prize together with poets from all over the world, to contest in the frame of a unique house of the Global Prize, where all the contenders are equal. In fact, the Jury receives from the Secretariat of the Prize only the texts of poetries marked by a number. Neither of the Jury members knows the participants.

In 2006 International Nosside returns with an important novelty: it is possible to participate presenting not only written poetries but also songs or video poetries. The immense doors of the Unique Global Poetry contest are also opened to the great creativity of Cuban and Latin-American authors.

However, Cuba remains the residence of one of the greatest Events of International Nosside.
