A brief history

Released in 2002, Naji Naaman's Literary Prizes are awarded every year to authors of the most emancipated literary works in content and style, aiming to revive and develop human values.
Between 2003 and 2009, Naji Naaman's Literary Prizes rewarded and published some 350 laureates worldwide.

Literary manuscripts (thoughts, poems, stories, theater, critique, etc…) of 40 pages at most, in all languages and dialects, typeset, with the curriculum vitae and an artistic photography of the author, should be sent by post to: POB 567 – Jounieh (Lebanon); or by e-mail to: info@najinaaman.org,  between September and January.
