Kabul (BNA) Information and culture minister Dr. Sayed Makhdom Raheen distributed the artistic and cultural awards of the year to its winners.
Every year the ministry launches an artistic competition in different spheres of arts and the artists nominate them and their works are being assessed by the representatives of the Academy of Science of Afghanistan, the Ministry of Information and Culture and the Kabul University and the first, second, and third winners are awarded prizes.
Around 300 art works were nominated for assessment of which 30 attained first, second and third prizes.
Dr. Raheen said at the ceremony that we should strongly defend the achievements of the past ten years in freedom of speech, human rights, women’s rights and the civil society and these should not be over looked any way.
