Ashila Foundation Honors Young Arab Poets
The Iraqi poet Zain Al-Abidin Al-Murshidi and the Moroccan poet Abu Bakr Al-Militi jointly won the Long Khaled Al-Haidari Prize for Young Arab Poets in its eighth edition for the year 2026. The selection was made unanimously by the judging panel, chaired by poet Yasin Adnan, and composed of critics and academics from various Arab countries, after approximately 16 poetic works from across the Arab world were nominated. The judges praised Al-Murshidi for his mastery of poetic tools and his blending of different poetry styles, while Al-Militi was distinguished by his independent poetic structure and his focus on linguistic economy, addressing everyday details artistically. The award will be presented on October 17th during the forty-seventh edition of the Asilah International Cultural Festival.
