In recognition of their artistic achievements, eligible artists receive a commemorative item, a certificate of appreciation, and a financial reward amounting to ₹25,000 per individual.[1]

Aims

edit

The objective of this program is to pay tribute to the young artists who have made significant contributions to the field of Goan art and culture. It seeks to honor and recognize the exceptional achievements of these talented individuals in their respective artistic domains. Furthermore, it aims to encourage, support, and identify these young artists as the emerging youth icons of the state.[1]

Eligibility

edit

To be eligible for this award, an individual artist must be between the ages of 25 and 40, and their accomplishments in their specific artistic domain must be extraordinary. In certain extraordinary circumstances, the age criteria may be extended by up to 5 years, granting flexibility on a case-by-case basis. To qualify for consideration, artists from Goa must have dedicated a minimum of 5 years to their artistic pursuits within the state, demonstrating a significant impact on the artistic landscape.[1]

It is important to note that the award is not conferred posthumously. However, in the event that an artist passes away after their nomination has been recommended, the Task Force Committee may deliberate on whether to bestow the award posthumously, taking into account the specific circumstances. Each individual artist is eligible to receive the award only once, and subsequent nominations will not be considered.[1]

Every year, a maximum of 6 outstanding individuals in various artistic categories, including Music/Dance, Drama/Tiatr, Folk Art, Photography/Painting, Craft, Sculpture, Bhajan/Kirtan, Literature, and Film, are carefully evaluated for the Yuva Srujan Puraskar, ensuring recognition and appreciation for their significant contributions.[1]

Procedure

edit

Annually, the Department of Art and Culture issues a press advertisement to extend an invitation for recommendations of deserving candidates for the Yuva Srujan Puraskar. This recognition is bestowed upon exceptional institutions and individuals who have made significant contributions in the field of art and culture.[1]

The Department of Art and Culture reaches out to various institutions and individuals involved in the field to propose suitable candidates for the Yuva Srujan Puraskar, if necessary. Additionally, the committee responsible for this program has the authority to independently recognize exceptional accomplishments or contributions in the field of art by individual artists and include them for consideration. It is important to note that the selection of awardees is determined by the committee and not through self-nominations.[1]
