\u00a0<\/strong>Santo Domingo, June 11, 2018 \u2013<\/strong> Vice President Margarita Cede\u00f1o, at an event coordinated by the Children and Youth Library of the Dominican Republic (BIJRD) – and sponsored by Bepensa Dominicana and Coca-Cola – presented the awards to the winners of the Fifth Annual National Literary Bottles Contest 2018.\u00a0 The event was dedicated to the memories of Dominican poets Lupo Hern\u00e1ndez Rueda and Juan Antonio Alix.<\/p>\n

The event was held at the Galeria 360<\/em> Mall in Santo Domingo with the participation of Vice President Dr. Margarita Cede\u00f1o, who presented the young winners with their respective awards.\u00a0 Inspired by literary texts, the winners used their talent to support environmental issues and used recycled materials to create their specific works of art.<\/p>\n

The participating schools received the literary bottles from the BIJRD, the contest rules, and worked together to create their artistic creations based on the literary text they were assigned.<\/p>\n

After Vice President Cede\u00f1o began this initiative five years ago, 31,901 students and 432 groups of high school students have participated in the contest.\u00a0 Through the initiative, thousands of students have learned of the importance of recycling and literature.<\/p>\n

During the awards ceremony Vice President Cede\u00f1o was accompanied by the director of the BIJRD, Dulce Elvira de los Santos; the head of Corporate Affairs of Bepensa Dominicana, Juan Amell; Carlos Hern\u00e1ndez Contreras, the son of Dominican poet Lupo Hern\u00e1ndez; and Fernando Garc\u00eda, president of Galeria 360<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Winners<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first place winner was the Santiago Hirujo Sosa High School, whose students were inspired by the poem Romance del caballo y la luna<\/em> (non-official translation: Romance of the Horse and the Moon), by poet Lupo Hern\u00e1ndez Rueda. The second prize was awarded to the Cathedral International School, with the interpretation of the 27 de Febrero <\/em>poem (non-official translation: 27th of February), written by Juan Antonio Alix. \u00a0The third place was received by the Centro de Excelencia Republica de Colombia<\/em>, who based their artistic creation on the poem Como aquel que transita en el camino<\/em> (non-official translation: Similar to the One that Walks Along the Road), also by Hern\u00e1ndez Rueda.<\/p>\n

Winners received cash awards of RD$100,000 (approximately US$2,500); RD$75,000 (US$1,400) for the second place award, and RD$50,000 (US$1,000) for the third place. Other educational centers (La Inmaculada, Fe y Alegr\u00eda, Liceo T\u00e9cnico Manuel del Cabral, Colegio Dominicano de La Salle, Centro Ad Maiora and the Polit\u00e9cnico Cristo Obrero) received special awards and a cash price of RD$25,000 (US$500) each.<\/p>\n

The Literary Bottles initiative involves reading, recycling and team work. It offers participants the possibility of creating, innovating and using their imagination through the creation of unique works of art inspired by literary texts.<\/p>\n

The jury that evaluated the creativity and originality of the use of the recycled materials and the relationship between the literary text and the work of art consisted of writer Le\u00f3n F\u00e9lix Batista, plastic artist Genaro Robles and writer Reynaldo Paulino Chevalier.<\/p>\n

After the awards ceremony concluded, the Vice President, top officials, invited guests, students and the general public visited the exhibit, which will be on display during the entire month of June. Top Dominican rap artist Mozart La Para headed the musical side of the event.<\/p>\n

The works exhibited were displayed through the Library\u2019s social media outlets, where participants competed for five percent of the public vote. \u00a0The outlet received a total of 237,216 visitors, with 66,012 \u201cLikes\u201d and was shared 46,796 times. \u00a0The outlet received 5,000 new followers.<\/p>\n
