It deserves a first-class home to keep it safe and an organisation that can promote it with pride and love.<\/p><p>Poetry also unites all Somalis, wherever they are, and this common language and literary inheritance can be a powerful tool for peace.<\/p><p>We have created the Home of Somali Poetry and the Somali Poetry Awards to preserve Somali poetry, showcase it to the world and use its power to heal divides and spur development.<\/p><p>Our mission is threefold:<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">ONE: We provide a beautiful home for Somali poetry that can build national pride and showcase it to the world. Our website hosts the Somali Poetry Archive, which preserves the classics and showcases new work from a fresh generation of poets \u2013 a resource for Somalis to take pride in their cultural achievements and a window into the world of Somali poetry for people abroad.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">The website is also an online magazine for poetry-related news and articles, interviews with poets, live performances, learning resources and more: a virtual community where all Somalis can come together to enjoy their shared literary inheritance.<\/p><p class=\" translation-block\">TWO: We run the Somali Poetry Awards \u2013 the Oscars of Somali poetry, which recognise the very best creative talent each year across three categories:<\/p><ul><li class=\" translation-block\">The Somali Poet of the Yea \u2013 open to anyone writing in Somali, no matter where they are from.<\/li><li class=\" translation-block\">The UNDP Woman Poet of the Year \u2013 for the best poetry written by women to help make sure their voices are heard.<\/li><li class=\" translation-block\">The Somali Youth Poet of the Year \u2013 for the best poetry submitted by anyone under 25.<\/li><\/ul><p>THREE: We also run special events to promote Somali poetry and use its power for peace and unity. This includes advocacy campaigns driven by the power of the pen and events that use poetry to overcome conflict and bring Somalis together to share and enjoy their art. We also commission work from new poets, including women and minorities, put out a yearly anthology of Somali poetry and organise online and in-person live performances and cultural exchange programmes among museums, festivals and other institutions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7963bc21 elementor-section-full_width elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7963bc21\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"#History\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4faf40fa\" data-id=\"4faf40fa\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1984a512 lined-header elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1984a512\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Judges<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-107cebe elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"107cebe\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c8ce80e\" data-id=\"c8ce80e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2be03b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d2be03b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Somalia is a nation of poets.

Its universal popularity and use of a common language make it both a unifying force and a powerful medium to raise awareness.<\/p><p>Against this background, the Somali Poetry Association was established in 2021.
