Organized by Green University Cultural Club (GUCC) and attended by a number of internationally acclaimed literary and cultural icons of Bangladesh, the two-day long Annual Literary and Cultural Competition Program held at the Green Auditorium of Green University of Bangladesh between 3 and 4 June, 2014 was a blast. The event was organized with a view to acclimatize tertiary students with the national cultural legacy of Bangladesh, and create an opportunity for celebrating them.
Events included English and Bangla Poetry recitation, solo acting, solo singing, and instrument playing competitions. In the singing contest, the categories were patriotic songs, Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti, Contemporary Songs, and Folk songs that created an atmosphere of scintillating entertainment for the present audience. In the instrument playing category, guitar and harmonium were players contested. At least, hundred contestents have enthusiastically participated in all the events, and twenty one have been awarded first, second and third places.
“The event was a successful one,” remarked Prof. Dr. Md. Golam Samdani Fakir, the Vice-Chancellor and Guest of Honor at the Prize and Certification ceremony on 4 June, 2014. He also asserted that phrase ‘extra-curricular activities’ should be replaced with ‘extended learning’ as it is the literary and cultural activities that are indissoluble constituent of a complete human being. Prof. Samdani also congratulated the key person behind materializing this event, Mr. Md. Shahid Ullah, the Treasurer; A.S.M. Shamim Miah, Assistant Professor and Moderator of GUCC; Mst.
