Vishnupuram Ilakkiya Vattam

Vishnupuram Ilakkiya Vattam (Tamil: விஷ்ணுபுரம் இலக்கிய வட்டம்) is a literary organization created by Tamil writer Jeyamohan and his readers and fans.[1] It is named after his noted work Vishnupuram. It is currently based out of Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, India and is being coordinated by K.V.Arangasamy. It awards the Vishnupuram Award every year.

Purpose

The Vattam was created in 2009[2] with the purpose of promoting quality literature among the Tamil community in the world and to create attention for high quality writing and writers.[3] To that effect, the organization periodically conducts literary meetups, seminars, conferences and informal gatherings to discuss literary works and other arts.

In 2010, the Vishnupuram Ilakkiya Vattam instituted the annual Vishnupuram Award that recognizes under-recognized stalwarts of Tamil literature.
