-The prizes may not be as big as those in the prestigious Carlos Palanca Memorial Award for Literature but the prizes could be the biggest in any ethnolinguistic writing contest in the country.
The Severino and Eufemia Lacar Commemorative Iluko Poetry Award (SELIPA) is being sponsored by the family of the late Severino and Eufemia Lacar through their son Francisco Lacar and their daughter Juanita Lacar-Portman, now residents of Australia.
The writer is free to chose his or her theme but the poem must be "cut from the landscape of Ilokano culture and tradition. The writer is required to submit three (3) poems consisting of 21 lines each.
The manuscripts should bear the true name of the writer, his or her address and contact number.
Prizes are the following: P10,000, first; P7,000, second prize; P5,000, third prize and three (3) consolation prizes at P1,000 each.
Cash prizes and certificates will be given to winners during the Iluko Literary Conference in May 2013 scheduled at the Mariano Marcos State University in Batac, Ilocos Norte.
