The Literature Award for Migrants, are the literature (the poems, songs, stories) from the population of immigrants (foreign brides) and migrant workers.
There are nearly 500 thousand South East-Asian migrant workers in Taiwan right now, as well as 200 thousand marriage migrants, and 300 thousand second-generation of new inhabitants. The life and cultural experiences of this community are indispensable to Taiwan literature. And through their writings, we are given an opportunity to see a broader, fuller, more colorful image of Taiwan.
The organization of the Literature Award is to encourage, and record the history that is happening now. Through the literary productions of immigrants, migrant workers, we will see stories of living in foreign lands (migrant workers), the feeling of having two homelands (immigrants), and having parents of two nationalities (second-generation of new inhabitants), open before our eyes.
First Prize worth 100 thousand NTD

關於移民工文學獎
移民工文學，顧名思義，是以移民（外籍配偶）與移工（外籍勞工）為主體，所生產出來的文學。
此刻的台灣，來自東南亞的移工將近五十萬人，婚姻移民將近二十萬人，新住民二代也已達三十萬人。這些人的文化與生命經驗，豐富了台灣，而她／他們的書寫，亦是台灣文學不可分割的一部分。
移民工文學獎的舉辦，即是為了鼓勵、並留下這段可貴的歷史。藉由以移民、移工為主體所生產的文字創作，呈現異地漂流（移工）、兩個故鄉（移民）、雙重血緣（新住民二代）的文學風貌。
首獎十萬元，敬請共襄盛舉。
