Rules for Poem Recital Competition

Each participant will be asked to recite as many poems as they can from the list published on our website (www.tagb.org). This year we chose poems from Vemana Satakamu, Bhaskara Satakamu, Nrisimha Satakamu, and Potana Mahabhagavatamu.

Participants will be judged on their ability to recite each poem fully and accurately. Fluency, pronunciation, diction, and cadence will also be criteria for evaluation.

In addition to the above,

Level II participants can be asked for the meaning of or summary of each poem
Level III participants can be asked to narrate the summary of each poem and to explain the meaning of any specific word in each poem

Judges’ decision will be final

Winners from each level will be announced soon after the competition on the same day and invited on stage for prize distribution.

Entry Fee: $10. No refunds can be considered after registration.

Last date to register: April 20, 2019.

Reporting time for contest: 12:30pm on April 27, 2019.
