Iran is slated to hold the 2nd edition of Martyr Avini Literary Award, which focuses on the theme of resistance and sacred defense.

Martyr Avini Literary Award, held to introduce the ‘Resistance Book of the Year’, at this year’s edition will present an international section.

To introduce Martyr Avini Literary Award to world’s literary agencies, international authors and publishers, the goals and policies of the award will be explained at 64th Frankfurt International Book Fair in Germany that will be held in October, said managing director of the award and one of its organizers Mohammad Hossein Karimipour.

The objects of the award are programmed to be presented in German, English and French on the board of the Award’s pavilion, Karimpour noted.

The 2nd Martyr Avini Literary Award is planned to assess the books on the subject of resistance, which are released in Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, French and English, he added.

Organized by Iran’s Revayat-e Fath Publication Institute and the Marty Avini Institute of Culture and Art, Martyr Avini Literary Award is a literary contest among the resistance authors.

The award is named in honor of Iranian television documentarian Seyyed Morteza Avini, who was killed in 1993 by a landmine while making a documentary about the 1980s Iran-Iraq war.

He is especially remembered for the series of The Chronicles of Victory, featuring Iran’s sacred defense.
