The Dhahan Prize is presented by Canada India Education Society.
The Dhahan Prize celebrates the rich culture and transnational heritage of Punjabi literature. The prize aims to promote the growth of Punjabi language globally, as well as encourage new, emerging and established writers working in the two Punjabi scripts, Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi.
Modern Punjabi literature is transnational in scope and, at the same time, embedded in the rich cultural and literary traditions of Punjab. Punjabi literature expresses the unique cultural ethos of this global community, describing the social, cultural, and political lives of Punjabis in South Asia and around the world.
The Dhahan Prize seeks sponsors to enable us to offer the best events and activities. Each year, we seek partners to sponsor the prize gala and reading. The Dhahan Prize is committed to building mutually beneficial relationships with sponsors in order to best promote the Prize and the sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring the Dhahan Prize activities, please contact us for a sponsorship package.
