Subject: [Goanet] Verodiano Award 2012 for 'Goa 1556'
Verodiano Award 2012 for ‘Goa 1556’
The 2012 Vincent Xavier Verodiano Award has been conferred on Goa 1556
in recognition of its pioneering commitment to record Goa’s variegated
past, project its kaleidoscopic present, and accentuate its pendulous
future.
Goa 1556 is an alternative publishing venture, founded by veteran
journalist Frederick Noronha. The company name was inspired by the
arrival of the Gutenberg printing press to Goa in the year 1556 – the
first of it’s kind in all of Asia. As Mr. Noronha succinctly put it,
the primary goal of his publishing company is to “democratise the
production of knowledge”. The company, states Mr. Noronha, “doesn’t
seek profits but exists because today, more than ever, Goa needs a
voice to articulate its own priorities.”
The editorial modulation of Goa 1556 is non-fiction writing related to
Goa, with emphasis on books which “shed interesting new light on
various aspects that help better understand the complex region called
Goa.” As of August 2012, Goa 1556 has amassed an assortment of 45
titles to its credentials.
Instituted in 1989 by Dom Martin, the objective of the Vincent Xavier
Verodiano Award is "to promote the well being of mankind through
individual advancement in the field of art, music, literature,
science, medicine or humanities". It strives to recognize individuals
who may not have been relatively well known but whose works needs
recognition.
The award was founded by Dom Martin, in memory of his late father,
Vincent Xavier Verodiano. The winner is announced on the 20th day of
September, and the award is conferred on the 5th day of November.
