*Translation:
This month, bring out your savoury dumplings of words, your spicy verse. Reveal yourself as an artist in a world of your own. Use the most modern and up to date similes, entertain your audience and don’t leave them with a sense of ennui. Demonstrate skill in your writing and performance. But don’t let pride creep in, least some thuggish wordsmith sweep the first prize.
