 The
Struga Poetry Evenings, today an international event, was established in
the summer of 1961 when the hundredth anniversary of the death as martyrs
of the brothers Dimitrija and Konstantin Miladinov was officially celebrated
in Struga, their birthplace.
So far more than 5,000 poets, writers and literary ethics
from over 50 countries have taken part. The highest acknowledgement of
the Struga Poetry Evenings is the Golden Wreath international award, which
each year is granted to one prominent poet of the world.
The final event, entitled "Bridges", is said to be the
only example in the world where the poetic world resounds in so many languages
of the world before such a huge audience. The Gold Wreath of the Struga
Poetry Evenings is also awarded at the "Bridges" event.
The Struga Poetry Evenings attract more and more poets
each year and its fame also attracts many audiences not just from Macedonia,
but from all parts of the world.
