The lyrics contest is also titled, "Bangladesh - My Love," and envisions motivating young lyricists and poets to write patriotic songs. Entries can be in both English and Bengali, and each participant can submit 3 entries maximum.
A jury board composed of nine eminent personalities/experts in the field will judge the submissions, amongst which twelve winners will be selected in two categories – six for "English Lyrics", and six for "Bengali Lyrics", who will receive certificates, crests and cash prizes. The winning entries in either category will receive Tk. 10,000 each; the 1st runner's up entries in either category will receive Tk. 7,000 and the 2nd runner's up entries in either category will receive Tk. 5,000. The rest of the twelve winners, 4th to 6th, in either category will receive Tk. 3,000 each.
Renowned music directors will compose songs based on the winning lyrics, and young and veteran singers will give voice to the songs. These songs will be featured on Cassettes and CDs. The prize-winning lyrics will also be featured in a district level festival all around Bangladesh.
