ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Friends and Supporters
After deep reflection and a heartfelt decision-making process, the TagorePrize has chosen to merge the 2024 and 2025 awards into a singular, celebratory ceremony. The shortlist for the prestigious Rabindranath Tagore Literary Prize, as well as the ultimate winners of both the literary and the TagorePrize for Social Achievement, will now be revealed in the second part of 2025.
This decision was made with great care, guided by both practical realities and our commitment to maintaining the prize’s excellence. One of these realities is the unexpected withdrawal of a cherished long-term sponsor. Their invaluable support has been instrumental in shaping TagorePrize into what it is today. While private circumstances prevent their continued partnership, we honor their contributions with deep gratitude and fond remembrance.
Additionally, the health of our founder, Peter Bundalo, has played a role in this decision. His unwavering dedication and vision remain at the heart of TagorePrize, and we are hopeful for his full recovery. It is our sincere wish that he will grace the stage once again, hosting a remarkable celebration in 2025 in New Delhi, India.
All submissions for the 2024 award have been meticulously reviewed and will be thoughtfully considered alongside entries for 2025 when the call reopens this January.
We are profoundly grateful for your understanding, patience, and trust as we take this step to ensure the enduring integrity and spirit of TagorePrize. Your support continues to inspire us on this journey of honoring literary brilliance and social achievement.
With Love,
TagorePrize Team
