While it's nice to recognize people's attainments, it's nicer once in a while to be able to recognize the people whose attainments are being recognized. Here's an award function where both the award and the awardees are big.

The Andhra Pradesh State Cultural Council will today give away the annual Hamsa awards to prominent personalities. The awards were instituted in 1999 to encourage individuals to perform and felicitate them for outstanding services in the fields of literature, music, dance, sculpture/painting and folk/tribal arts. The awards carry a cash prize of Rs. 30,000, a shawl, a gold plated 'Hamsa' (swan) and a citation.

The awardees for the year 2001 are: Utpala Satyanarayanacharya (poet and scholar - for literature), Annavarapu Ramaswamy (violin maestro - for music), Maddali Usha Gayatri (for dance), Professor Aekka Yadagiri Rao (eminent sculptor - for sculpture) and A C Chandrasekhar (for folk arts).

A jury headed by Dr. C Narayana Reddy and comprising former Karnataka chief justice Y Bhaskara Rao, Press Academy chairman Potturi Venkateshwara Rao and writer Abburi Chaya Devi has selected the awardees.
