The award ceremony is scheduled for 04:00PM to 10:00PM tomorrow, Saturday 28th March 2026 at the Backyard Bistro, Luthuli Avenue, Bugolobi - Kampala.

To Philip Matogo; A Friend Who Writes Me Forward —By Kibirige Desire Edward When doubt would darken every mile,   You carved the night with thought and style.   A friend whose words became the breeze,   That stirred my ink, revived my ease.   Webale nnyo, Phil You read my soul, not just the lines,   But all the spaces tucked in signs.   You saw my voice before it spoke,   And warmed the fire before it woke.   Webale nnyo, Phil Your praise was never thrown or thin;   It danced with truth, it came from kin.   You held my books like sacred art,   And gave each title beating heart.   Webale nnyo, Phil From Bard Diaries to The Pearl-lit days,   You crowned my work with honest praise.   You didn’t just review: I swear,   You stood beside me, always there.   Webale nnyo, Phil Not once, not twice, but time again,   You lifted me through loss and gain.   You made me feel like I belong,   Like every poem could be strong.   Webale nnyo, Phil Still now you speak with gentle might,   You urge me higher, guide my success flight.   You say, “Your work's just begun,”   And point me boldly toward the sun.   Webale nnyo, Phil No greater gift than faith like yours,   That walks beside me, not outdoors.   You plant your words in fertile ground,   And every verse grows truth profound.   Webale nnyo, Phil So this I write, with humbled pen,   To honor more than just back then, To praise the man who helps me rise,   The friend whose ink still clears my skies. Webale nnyo, Phil Dedicated to @MatogoPhilip For the love and support in my literal journey. The country needs more of him. Longlive my brother 🫂. Thank you so much always, for not only pushing me forward but the entire industry. You're not only a hero but an icon too.

Thanks @MatogoPhilip and @DailyMonitor for the review! @mahiribooks @NuriaStore @nationallib_ug @AristocBooklex1 @AmazonBookStore #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers
