Singapore : The Association of Singapore Tamil Writers was registered as a Society in 1976 to cater to the interests of Tamil writers and promote Tamil Language and Literature in Singapore. The Association organises two major annual events of which one is Muthamizh Vizha (Festival of Tamil) and the other is Kannadasan Vizha.(in commemoration of the great poet and lyricist). Contests for students are held from Kindergarten to Tertiary level in conjunction with Muthamizh Vizha. A local writer or poet is presented with the Tamizhavel Award (about 4 soveriegns in gold). Contests in short-story and poetry are also held for the public. The Muthamizh Vizha is on of the major events of the annual Tamil Festival held in April authorised by the Tamil Language Learning and Promotion Committee and coordinated by Tamil Language Council. Apart from these two major events the Association holds a monthly poetry session called Kavi Cholai and also organises workshops for students, book launches, Patti Mandram (Debate) and dialogue sessions with visiting writers and literarians.
