2020 Yage Prize for Christian Literature & Arts
Announcement of Winners
Organized by the Duke Initiative in Theology and the Arts, this award was created to promote the production of excellent Chinese Christian literature, music, and visual art by providing a prestigious award for Chinese writers and artists. Through this award, we hope to promote the indigenization of Christianity in China, encourage faith through artistic expression, and promote the development of Chinese Christian literature and art.
Over the past 9 months, we received over 900 outstanding works of literature, music and visual art. After a three-round selection process, we are honored to announce the inaugural winners of the Yage Prize for Christian Literature & Arts. All prizewinners are listed at the end of this announcement.
Given the safety and health concerns around COVID-19, we have decided to cancel the in-person award ceremony. In place of the in-person event, we will broadcast a 60-minute virtual award ceremony on December 17, 2020 at 7:00AM (EST) / 8:00PM (Beijing Time).

为奖掖华人基督教文学、音乐和艺术创作,鼓励全世界华人文艺作者从自身独特的民族身份、经验出发,吸收、消化基督之道,为世界贡献灵性的文艺果实,杜克大学神学系与神学艺术中心特发起华人雅歌文艺奖。
The 2020 Yage Prize will be based on Luke 6:20: “And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God!” Writers, musicians and artists are invited to create literary works based on this theme. (Note: entries for the Music Category are not restricted to this theme. Music works based on any Christian theme are welcomed.)
本届雅歌奖主题为 — 圣经《路加福音》6章20节:耶稣举目看着门徒,说:“你们贫穷的人有福了,因为上帝的国是你们的!” 请参与者围绕主题展开文学、视觉艺术创作。(音乐组别不受此主题限制,与广义基督教相关即可)
All submissions will be evaluated initially by the Prize staff. The finalists will be judged by a panel of experts from North America, mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. These judges will discuss the merits of the finalists and award the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Special Prizes.
For “Music – Subcategory A. Worship Music,” final evaluation consists of two parts: 70% based on evaluation by judges and 30% based on online voting. Judges will evaluate finalist submissions based on lyrics and melody.
主办机构聘请专业人士组织初审工作,并邀请三至五位知名文艺人士和相关学者担任终审,终审评委来自北美、中国大陆和台港地区。
关于福音歌曲,终审评比由两部分构成:评委打分占70%,网络投票占30%。评委的评判将基于歌词与歌曲旋律综合考量。
