Dubai, UAE A vibrant cultural celebration is set to take place tomorrow as the Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC) Dubai hosts the highly anticipated CH Memorial Arts and Literary Competitions at the KMCC Auditorium. The event, scheduled for September 19 at 6 PM, is part of the prestigious CH International Summit, commemorating the life and contributions of the eminent personality, CH, through creative expression.
The competition lineup includes the CH Memorial Poetry Writing Contest, Memorial Speech Contest, and Memorial Song Competition, designed to inspire participants and showcase their literary and artistic talents.

Participants will include both members and non-members of the KMCC from all district and mandalam wings in Dubai, encouraging widespread involvement from the expatriate Malayali community. These competitions are seen as an important way to promote cultural solidarity, foster artistic excellence, and keep alive the literary traditions of Kerala in the UAE.
The event’s preparations were discussed in the Sargotsava Preparatory Meeting, chaired by Najeeb Thachampoyil, with notable participants including Rishad Mampoyil, Azeez Kakkeri, Sufiyan Adivaram, Jaleel Mavoor, Fasil Pavandur, and Rafi Pookode.
